I don't agree. Inside of Sneferu's subsidiary is a prototypical grand gallery, it is not a replica and it neither is nearly exact scaled. Khufu's Grand Gallery is in grander form.

If Khufu had died, let's say during the finishing touch on the SC, and therefore this chamber would have become his grave, would there never have been an AP, QC + shafts, GG, KC with 'relieving chambers' + shafts ? If so, does this modest interior (DP and SC) still answer AE views on the Afterlife and if so, I still do not understand why Khufu's interior was completely pre-planned. Or does pre-planned mean 'fore-seen' ?
