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.
