Mind blowing Egyptian pyramid building theory
February 10, 2008 · Filed Under Ancient Egypt, Monuments
Maureen Clemmons, president of the management consulting practice Transformations, is conducting an experiment along with Cal Poly Pomona University to demonstrate how ancient Egyptians might have built the pyramids.
Architecture students in the cement and masonry structure class will construct a 106-ton pyramid without modern tools. Instead, they will employ Clemmons techniques of compacting the soil with beer for a sturdy foundation and harnessing the wind force by means of sails and kites to move the mighty blocks.
Ancient Egyptians are credited with inventing the sail and beer was their drink of choice.
