Just came across a good site and found it was interesting enough to pass along. Rune Soup has a fantastic post from earlier in 2012. Among the many great links I found here is as good a theory as any I've seen before discussing how the pyramids of Egypt were built.
Is this how the pyramids were built?
Okay so… this is one of the few topics I am not a complete, massive idiot in or dickbag about. Maybe.
Ignoring everything else, the construction of the Giza complex is fundamentally an engineering enigma. After almost twenty years of looking at this and scoffing at the feeble “explanations”, a project manager from Derby has -in my estimation- come the closest to a working theory that doesn’t involve aliens or antigravity. (This is an example of the thing I love most in the British make-up; a weird, nerdy obsession that comes out of a package holiday… a voracious, post-Benidorm amateurism.)
Please watch both videos and give feedback. I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts. A couple of things to note:
- The Giza causeways down to the Nile are at weird angles that haven’t been satisfactorily explained. In fact, the magical purpose of the causeways hasn’t been satisfactorily explained. This is one explanation for them.
- He doesn’t mention it in the video but there is a reasonable amount of written source material to indicate that the pyramid workforce was seasonal: it was farmers who had nothing to do during the inundation period… which is precisely the moment in the year that this whole theory hinges on.
