The Big Void may be a functional relieving chamber designed to deflect downward forces from the Grand Gallery, which bears significant stone weight and needed structural protection. Workers' markings have been found in other sealed spaces like relieving chambers and behind the Queen's Chamber air channel door. Discovery of Khufu Cartouche markings in the Big Void would confirm its 4th dynasty construction date. Researchers consider the most realistic expectations for the void are workers' markings and construction tool remains rather than hidden treasure.
