The author contemplates the notch on the northeast edge of the Great Pyramid at Giza. A chamber beyond the hole in the wall provides new information on the monument's construction. (Gedeon Programme/Dassault Systèmes)
Construction details suggest this L-shaped chamber dates from the building of the pyramid. Some blocks in it are carved in semi-arches to support the ceiling (left) and the central ceiling block was set in place, like a keystone (right). Mortar extrudes into the chamber from around small blocks likely put in place from behind the wall by workmen retreating down the ramp (center, area circled). (Photos: Gedeon Programme/Dassault Systèmes)
A survey in the 1980s recorded a possible internal ramp (left, highlighted in white). Where the ramp turns the pyramid's northeast corner (red dot), there is a notch in the masonry (center). An L-shaped room behind this notch was used for turning blocks. It was closed off after work was completed (computer diagram at right).

I saw the show on this. It was quite fascinating...

Always said the Pyramids were a honeycomb inside. That would lend to all kinds of leverage possibilities.

Wrong, wrong, and wrong.

The stones were lifted straight up on scaffolding.

No mastermason worthy of the name would have wasted the energy and time required to build useless ramps.

A series of levers were used to divide the weight of the stones in half (at their center) and the power required to lift one side and then the other could have been prodided by water pumped to the top of the scaffolding.

Raise the stones slightly above the height of the working course and let them roll into place.

Does anyone think that masons acquired such an exalted reputation by building ramps???

It just always seemed odd to me that there are no records of any kind on the construction technique.
