Secret Chamber: The Quest for the Hall of Records (1999) is a non-fiction book by Robert Bauval that explores the theory that an ancient library, or "Hall of Records," is hidden beneath the Giza plateau in Egypt. Bauval investigates claims of a subterranean vault containing the lost knowledge of an advanced ancient civilization, often identified with Atlantis. The search is heavily influenced by the 1930s "readings" of American psychic Edgar Cayce, who predicted the hall would be found near the Sphinx's right paw. Bauval discusses the Gantenbrink door (discovered in 1993), a stone block with copper handles found at the end of a shaft in the Great Pyramid, as evidence of hidden chambers. Bauval alleges that Egyptian authorities and mainstream Egyptologists have suppressed or ignored evidence of subterranean structures. The book explores potential links between Giza’s geometry, Freemasonry, and ancient religious texts. Bauval references his own theory that the three Giza pyramids were designed to mirror the stars of Orion’s Belt as they appeared in 10,500 BCE. While Bauval's theories are popular in alternative history circles, they are considered fringe by mainstream archaeologists, who maintain that the Giza monuments were built as tombs for 4th-dynasty pharaohs.
