The ceiling of the antechamber in the great pyramid is approximately 65 inches wide and the floor is approximately 41 inches wide. The diagram by Smyth suggests that the width of the wainscots are the same (approximately 12 inches each), but he does not give the actual measures of the widths of the wainscots in his book that I have. Petrie also does not give the respective widths of the wainscots in The Pyramids and Temples of Giza. Rutherford gives the widths of the wainscots as exactly equal, but I am not sure if this is from actual measurement or if he just divided the difference 50/50. What I am wondering is if the width of the west wainscot is actually significantly greater than the width of the east wainscot. Jon B has several pictures of the upper part of the antechamber on his website but I can not really tell from the pictures if the width of the two wainscots is the same or not. I would appreciate it if Jon or anyone else could answer this question for me.

Thanks for any assistance,

Jim
