There were several pillars in this large chamber, but all have been destroyed and traces of only four can be seen in the debris. (The chamber is still largely unexcavated.) One pillar, built of roughly-cut stones, stands in the north corner. It is almost certainly a later addition. Four niches, perhaps for magical bricks, are cut high in the four walls, near the corners. Faint traces of decoration can be seen on all the walls. The chamber's ceiling has been heavily damaged because of tour buses that have parked on the road partially overlying the chamber. Their idling motors vibrated and caused huge blocks to fall from the ceiling.
