Coast to Coast AM Giza Excavations: In the latter half, engineer and rogue Egyptologist Robert Bauval talked about the recent scandals at Giza and claims of secret excavations and tunneling inside the Great Pyramid. He outlined the events associated with what has been called the Khufu Cartouche Affair, involving accusations that a kind of ancient graffiti featuring a cartouche (symbol for a royal name) was stolen from the Campbells Chamber of the Great Pyramid in April 2013. Several German researchers along with six Egyptian officials were charged with the crime, and Zahi Hawass (the former Egyptian Antiquities Minister) accused Bauval of being in cahoots with them. Bauval pointed out that signs of the cartouche being disturbed can be traced back to 2004-2006, well before the so-called April 2013 incident. The cartouche, which has been used as evidence to show that the Great Pyramid dated back to the time of Khufu, may be a false artifact used to cover-up the fact that the Pyramid was built by a far older civilization, he noted.
