After describing both the interior and exterior of the structures, Joseph Augustus Seiss embarks on a series of speculations consistent with his lifelong interest in pyramidology.The one, large diagram which follows the preface of the work serves as a useful reference point for readers.

Each aspect of the drawing has a corresponding letter, with the smaller pyramids of Giza also appearing.
