It was during the era of George Washington that interest in the Great Pyramid was renewed and new discoveries made. Edward Worthly Montague escorted Mr. Nathaniel Davison while he was on vacation and together they carefully explored the great pyramid
The adventuresome Davison lowered a lamp into the "well," tied a rope around his waist, and had himself carefully lowered into its ominous darkness, well over a hundred feet, only to find the bottom blocked with sand and rubbish.
It struck Davison as incredulous why anyone would go to the trouble of digging a shaft orver two hundred feet to no where. The shaft was dug deep into solid granite with no apparent purpose.
Not finding any reasonable answer Davison abandoned his quest and began to search for other secret features. As a result of his scrutiny today the Davison chamber bears his very name.
