Crypts
the chamber
Is a chamber that lies hidden, usually they are located inside the temple structure. They are usually only accessible through some sort of hidden chamber in either the floor or in the walls themselves. They are said to be uncommon in the Middle and New Kingdom of the ancient Egyptian history. They are mostly found in the later temples especially towards the Greek period.
These were chambers used for either storage of cult images, or text concerning secret rites. That type of ritual seem uninteresting (to some) since no one goes into detail about that, I have only found few books in French which I cannot read because of the language barrier.
