Jacob's chamber, where Jacob lived, was hidden within the pedestal of the statue of Taweret. The chamber is accessed by a hidden stone door in the pedestal of the statue, the location of which is known to Richard. Inside, the chamber comprises a simple stone room with four walls decorated with ancient Egyptian paintings, including one of the Egyptian goddess Isis spreading her wings.
