Exploiting the technical capabilities of modern gravimeters, we performed three-dimensional model calculations with realistic model parameters obtained from published literature. Under ideal experimental conditions researchers are able to measure relatively small gravity effects around −1 × 10−7 ms−2. However, to transfer the model scenario to investigating the real-world pyramid chamber we need to know what the chamber may contain – such knowledge can help in estimating a more realistic result.
