The Niche is the commonly used name for the large recess found in the Queen’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid. The Niche dominates the eastern wall of the chamber, rising 4.67 m high. This pyramid was more precisely oriented to the cardinal points than any other, and great care was taken to center this chamber along its north-south axis. This makes it of great interest that the Niche is offset two feet south of the central axis of the chamber. If it had been centered, then the Niche would have marked the center of the pyramid. From an architectural point of view, this offset is very interesting, because it was clearly done on purpose. Various explanations have been forwarded regarding the reason for this displacement, which disrupts the mathematical harmony of the pyramid. In this article I show a mathematical correlation between the offset of the Niche and the offset of the King’s Chamber, raising the possibility that the southerly offset of the Niche predicts that of the King’s Chamber.
