Hello Apap:
John Shae Perring discovered Khufu’s northern upper shaft’s exterior location on the 12th of February, 1837, while measuring ”…the exterior of the Great Pyramid…Mr. Perring, in passing over the centre of the northern front for that purpose, discovered the mouth of the northern air-channel”. The mouth of the “southern air-channel” was discovered by one of Vyse’s men, Abd el Ardi, shortly thereafter ”in the same relative position as the northern”. – Operations carried on at the pyramids of Gizeh in 1837…Volume I, pg. 151 and 268.
