The article researches the design and the purpose of the lower tier chamber in the Bent Pyramid of Sneferu in Dashure. The review of the earlier archeological research materials has shown that the purpose of the chamber has not been determined. In the process of the current research a technological link between the lower and the upper tiers of the pyramid has been found. It has been proven that the lower tier elements (the chamber itself, the shaft, and the chimney) all together comprised an ancient furnace – a CO/CO2 gas generator. Its purpose was to produce a mixture of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gas to fill the space of the upper tier of the pyramid. The goal of the architect or was to make the pyramid chambers deadly for burglars.  Constructive  similarities  between  the  furnace  in  the  lower  tier of the Sneferu Pyramid and the modern CO/CO2 gas generator have been established. A theory about the presence of the secret chambers in the pyramid, including the  chamber  containing  the  Sarcophagus  of  the  Pharaoh  has  been  substantiated. A theory  explaining  the  purpose  of  changing  the  shape  and  the  construction of the Bent Pyramid specifically has been proposed.

Background: The study of the production and emission of greenhouse gases, including CO2 in the atmosphere, is one of the most important environmental issues and concerns of the international community. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of temperature and furnace fuel concentration changes on CO2 and CO production. Methods: In this study, using HSC Chemistry 6 software, the existing reactions for fuels used in the furnace, including CaCO3, MgCO3, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4, were simulated. The concentrations of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide produced at different temperatures were investigated. Results: In the CaCO3 reaction, the temperature has a direct effect on carbon dioxide production but no effect on carbon monoxide production. In the MgCO3 reaction, the temperature has little effect on the production of both, and for the rest of the reactions, the effect of temperature depends on the molar composition and reaction conditions. Conclusion: In general, the results show that temperature affects the production of carbon dioxide and monoxide, so the emission of these gases to the environment can be reduced by adjusting the temperature of the furnace reactors.
