While widely assumed to have been entered and looted in antiquity, this narrative rests on limited direct evidence. This paper critically examines the architectural concealment of the original entrance, the ninth-century intervention of Al-Ma'mun, and the absence of material traces of early intrusion. By highlighting gaps between assumption and evidence, the study challenges the conventional narrative and calls for a careful reassessment of how we interpret absence, historical continuity, and the transmission of knowledge within the Great Pyramid. The analysis emphasizes that the monument's mysteries persist not only in stone but in the silences of the historical record itself.
