This blackout of data and information is hardly relegated to just measurements of the airshafts but encompasses almost all the data that has been collected to date as well as the huge amount of testing and measurement that has never even been performed. I believe the most dramatic example is the infrared data that came into existence in 2015 but has never been published. Instead we get cryptic statements from Hawass about not releasing data that might confuse the public. So we have this stalemate where not even Peers are allowed access to the data and it is not being studied at all. This reminds me of the "old wood" fiasco. If the carbon dating occurred today, we would never know the results since the powers that be don't want us confused and still want us to believe all decisions everywhere are being made as the result of science and empirical evidence. It is far easier to believe in collapsing paradigms than that they don't want we poor peons confused.
Decisions everywhere are apparently being made not on science but on beliefs, personal opinions, and politics.
If we can't get already completed infrared data what are the odds they'll actually measure the ultraviolet and then tell us when it disproves much of current belief?
