Section Title: 6.文章修订

Both the reading and lecture discuss the purpose of the shafts in the Great Pyramid. While the author of the reading introduces three possible theories - ventilation, religion, and spirit passageways, the lecturer casts doubt on these, asserting that all these claims are unconvincing.

First of all, the reading argues that the shafts were made for providing fresh air to workers who may have suffered from smoke produced by lighting fires. However, the professor challenges this claim. She notes that two of the four shafts in the pyramid are too deep to bring air from outside. Since all four shafts appear to be similar in construction, it is unlikely that only two of them were designed for ventilation purposes.

Secondly, according to the article, the shafts were positioned for religious reasons, such as aligning with specific stars associated with gods. In contrast, the lecturer points out that ancient Egyptians only developed these religious associations in later years after building the pyramid. Therefore, it is unlikely that these shafts were created based on star or god alignments or for religious reasons.

Lastly, while the author suggests that shafts might serve as passageways for a deceased king's spirit due to their belief in spirits leaving bodies and entering an afterlife, the speaker disputes this notion. She goes on to say that other pyramids built later do not have open shafts because ancient Egyptians believed spirits could travel through walls without needing actual openings. Thus, it indicates that these shafts were not designed for a king's spirit to pass through. (260 words)
