Great Pyramid Mystery Solved? | National Geographic

Jean-Pierre approached the

mystery

of the Great Pyramid with an architect's eye, working from the most detailed architectural plans of the Great Pyramid ever drawn. Little by little his theory began to evolve as the years passed unnoticed by Egyptologists. He came to know the new details of the Great Pyramid.

pyramid

like no other on earth the $64,000 question is how do you lift blocks to the top of a four hundred and eighty foot

pyramid

. We saw that there were real problems whether with a single ramp or a spiral ramp and certainly with lifting cranes. Don't do the work, so how do you do it?

That's the problem John Pierre has been addressing all these years. His solution still exists, but it is inside the pyramid and incredibly, according to Jean Pierre, it has been hidden there for 4,500 years. He calculated that the slope of this ramp had to be approximately 7% for the men to place the blocks on it. He also thought that the ramp would have to start at the base of the pyramid and go up as the pyramid grew. It is not as easy as it looks. Remember. the pyramid is not solid inside the Great Pyramid there are three large chambers, the lowest one is called the Queen's Chamber, above there is a mysterious room called the Great Gallery and above all is the King's burial chamber, the three chambers are connected by hallways.

It is possible to have a ramp winding through the pyramid that does not reach one of these chambers or passageways. When he began building his computer model, he could see the ramp just three meters into the pyramid's smooth outer surface rotating level after level. The whole way to the top of the pyramid is like a ramp in a parking lot. Surprisingly, Jean-Pierre's ramp never hit any of the hallway chambers inside the Great Pyramid. For the first time in history, he had created a 3D structural model of the Great Pyramid. It was built to test a theory.

Jean-Pierre knew that the internal ramp was a real possibility, but he still had problems to solve. How to rotate the blocks around the corners of the ramp. You see that the men who carry the blocks need a place to stand in front of. the blocks when they reached the end of the straight line on the ramp, where can they stand to pull the block? Jean-Pierre's solution is to leave the corners open at the end of each section of the ramp, an indentation of about 30 square feet would have been left. Opening this notch let in light and fresh air, but it had an even more important function, parked at each corner was a crane that lifted and positioned the block so it could climb the next section of the ramp.

These cranes could be the machines that Herodotus was talking about, but like any good detective story, we've been saving the best for last. If Jean-Pierre is right about the internal ramp, the French team should have detected it in their high-tech study from the 1980s in the report published by the French team. there is no diagram of an internal ramp it seems that jean-pierre is wrong surely such a sophisticated study would have found evidence of something as large as an internal ramp but 15 years after the study jean-pierre was asked to meet with a member of the team french who said he had very good news for him dr.

Bleep had heard about John PS's theory and wanted to show him something, a diagram that the French didn't fully understand, so they never published it. Wow, look Takayama, this computer-printed death shows a low-density spiral shape inside the Great Pyramid, it's surprisingly close to Jean Pia's drawing of the internal ramp, years before Jean Pierre's theory, the French they may have found evidence of an internal ramp within the Great Pyramid.
