I have been studying the building aspect of the
engeneering work: Pharaoah Keop´s Piramid. After a deep study
of the building, giving special attention to the limitations
of the time and the scientific theories, I have developed a
thesis on the subject.
I agree with the thesis that the ramps were used for
the construction of the pyramids, and it is logical to think
that the straight ramp developed into more convenient shapes
which made it is possible to reach higher positions and reducer
the amount of accumulated material. There is no evidence whether
those ramps were used to build the whole pyramid.
Since the matter has not been clarified yet, in my
opinion, the study of alternative solutions, should not be
discharged. The metod I am studying is applicable to the cons-
truction of the last stretch of Pharao Keopls pyramid, where the
use of ramps became more difficult. This procedure does not
replace the use of ramps; it confirms the use of the ramps up
to a certain height.
The construction techniques applied for carrying out this
work and the explanation of the reasons for its unique inner
layout are both vast and debatable matters.
In this article I shall refer to two issues which have
attracted the attention of archaeologists from Borchardtls
time to our days:
a) the method used for lifting the blocks of stone;
b) the purpose of the Grand Gallery.
Traditionally, the two questions have been analysed separately
without ever gathering enough evidence in either case.
I shall briefly outline the existing scientific views on
each one of them and will then formulate a different '
approach whose uniqueness lies in the fact that the two are
assumed to be related.
The demostration that this method was used requires
research (as I explain in the article).
I want send you my article in English, for interchange opinions.
