The construction of the Egyptian pyramids has been attributed to three primary theories discussed in the forum. The first theory suggests extraterrestrial involvement due to the precision of the pyramids, but lacks evidence. The second theory posits that ordinary Egyptians, rather than slaves, built the pyramids, utilizing local resources and possibly ramps for stone transportation. The third theory involves the use of a mixture of natron and silt from the Nile to create cast blocks, which has been scientifically tested. Historical evidence supports the idea that the pyramids evolved from earlier tomb designs, with the construction process being a gradual progression rather than a singular event.
PREREQUISITESHistorians, archaeologists, architecture enthusiasts, and anyone interested in ancient engineering and the cultural significance of the Egyptian pyramids.
arildno said:Is this one of those ingenious spiral ramp theories??
1. We have REMAINS of exterior ramps only, AFAIK
2. There was no shortage of man-power in ancient Egypt.
3. It is technologically trivial to build an exterior ramp.
4. It is equally trivial to deconstruct it.
Hence, it is no particular reason to think that any other method would be bothered with.
Only SOLID material/scriptural evidence to the contrary is sufficient to give credence to such theories.
