New boost to Great Pyramid internal ramp theory
November 1, 2008 · Filed Under Ancient Egypt, Research and Theories
A recent National Geographic video shows French architect Jean Pierre Houdin being presented with a diagram depicting low density spiral shapes inside the Great Pyramid, which may be a sign of internal ramps.
Early last year, Houdin proposed a theory that the Great Pyramid of Khufu was built from the inside out using internal ramps.
Previous theories have suggested that the Great Pyramid builders raised the man made structure’s millions of stone blocks using an external ramp, either single or spiral.
The ramps remain inside the pyramid, detectable by sensors, Houdin says.
No testing has been done yet. In the meantime, the Great Pyramid of Khufu remains the most massive puzzle in the history of civilization.
