There are many theories about how the Great Pyramid in Egypt was constructed, ranging from UFOs to elaborate ramps and machines. But none has ever fully explained how mere human effort could raise such an incredible structure. Until now.
A French architect named Jean-Pierre Houdin has used 3D modeling software, combined with rigorous study of the pyramid itself, to advance a startling new theory that supported by some pretty compelling evidence.
Over at Archaeology, Bob Brier explains Houdin's theory. Basically, he suggests that the base of the pyramid was constructed using a ramp that was later dismantled and used to build a winding, spiral ramp on the inside walls of the pyramid. People carried stones up these ramps, building more ramp as they went. When they finished, the ramp was sealed within the pyramid walls.
I say rubbish, it was aliens wot did it!
