The Concave Faces of the Great Pyramid
A construction methodology proposed by the author in 2003 to explain how the Great Pyramid was built suggested that workers used the angled faces of the pyramid as surfaces on which to transport block and sledge assemblies. This methodology however would leave few material traces behind making it more difficult to conclusively prove. This article argues that the known concavity of the outer packing blocks of the Great Pyramid provides meangingful…

I recently read with great interest the article titled "Building the Great Pyramid: Probable Construction Methods Employed at Giza" that appeared in the April 2003 issue of Technology and Culture. I was pleased to read James Frederick Edwards's theories concerning pyramid building. In fact they mirror, in many ways, my own extensive work along these lines. That is why I thought I should write you. I have a long trail of publications, extending ba…
Building the Great Pyramid
The article challenges the current principle theories proposed by Egyptologists and historians, namely, that the building blocks used in the construction of the Great Pyramid were elevated into position using ramps or levers. Using contemporary and ancient evidence, certain scientific parameters relating to the hauling of stone blocks are deduced, from which a more logical and practical alternative methodology emerged: utilizing the angled faces …
