Technologies in Construction of the Great Pyramid

Past theories have suggested that builders on Egypt’s Giza Plateau build the pyramid’s using an external ramp, some say the ancient Egyptian has seek help from aliens using UFO to move those big blocks of stones. French architect Jean-Pierre Houdin has a new theory.
What if the pyramid had been built from the inside out?
Twentieth year of the reign. The pyramid seen from another angle. The main construction is finished, the pyramidion is in place on the summit. Finishing work is about to start from the summit down.
According to French architect Jean-Pierre Houdin, the 4,500-year-old tomb of Pharaoh Khufu was built using a ramp that spirals around the pyramid’s interior 30 to 45 feet (nine to 14 metres) behind the exterior surface.
Building the Pyramid on an even level terrain
What the ancient Egyptians did was dig a trench between the two stakes and then fill it with water. The water would “seek its own level” and they would measure up from the water level.

on November 10th, 2008Ramps for Giza Pyramid constructions are not mentioned in ancient Egyptian records but wooden machines are. These machines do not require ramps, but do require steps. The Giza Pyramids have four stepped sides as we can see, as many outer casing blocks have been removed. Ramps are a modern invention because the ancient records are considered to be unbelievable by modern academia. My own research proves beyond all doubt the ancient Egyptian records to be absolutely correct and I have written and published a book about my findings titled “Raising Stone 1: Paul Hai’s racks & pinions theory” published in 2007. In this high quality illustrated book Giza Pyramid construction is fully explained.

on December 30th, 2009Rampless Egyptian Pyramid construction has a definite AUSTRALIAN connection
Captain Matthew Flinders navigated and mapped Australia’s coastline. His grandson became Professor Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie who excavated ancient Egyptian artifacts. In 1895 as an employee of the Egypt Exploration Fund (now Society) of London he was excavating artifacts at Deir el-Bahari and found a cache of ancient building equipment buried for preservation in a hewn out rock pit during Pharaonic times.
One of the wooden items is stated as being of “unidentified use” and has been named the “Petrie rocker” by Egyptologists.
Petrie considered the “rocker” was used to raise Pyramid blocks with a “rocking” motion and in 2006 he has been proven partly correct on the matter of raising Pyramid blocks using “rockers”.
The “rocker” is a component of an ancient Egyptian pulley which operates with a mechanical advantage of 2.8 and with CLASS 2 lever principle as a wheelbarrow does. (CLASS 2 lever: Pivot – Load – Effort).
The technical term for the “Petrie rocker” is “pinion-pulley lobe quadrant”. Four of these surround a Pyramid block and then the pulley is hoisted causing rotation and positive engagements of pulley lobes with Pyramid steps.
Consider the Pyramid as four RACKS of stone teeth on to which the PINION pulley lobes engage and here is the earliest form of RACK & PINION mechanics that we know of.
This is the ancient method of Pyramid construction as used on at least four large Pyramids: Sneferu’s RED Pyramid and those at Giza of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure.
This ancient method of construction DOES NOT REQUIRE RAMPS and uses the Pyramid under construction (using all four sides simultaneously) to complete the Pyramid, thus using a Pyramid to build a Pyramid.
Petrie died in Jerusalem in 1942 unknowing that “Petrie rockers” are components of an ancient pulley, unlike any pulley in the modern world, hitherto unknown and one of his most important excavations.
