My bad. I did some immediate searching after seeing your statement, and was enthralled by the information uncovered.
Thank you so much for teaching me something new and remarkable today.
You're dreaming. Moslems do not study anything, they only destroy. We will lose all the remaining egyptian historical artifacts once the muzzies take over.
And who built the pyramid? Job and Enoch...
Can you make the ears stick out a little more?
Yeah lol...we will get a much better look at the insides of the pyramids when they are blown up.
That is why Egypt is a desert, they burned all the trees to make lime cement.
There was a very hopeful ‘hopeful’ with that comment ;)
Oh. I thought they cut down all the trees to make toilet paper.
When you extrude something as big as a pyramid, you're gonna need some.

Then follow the plan, you have to do a lot of drawing before hand and measuring along the way.
After that it don't matter from which side or all sides how you construct it, back to front would be easier, follow the drawings and the plan, Gyppos weren't stupid.
On proceeding forty stadia from the city, one comes to a kind of mountain-brow; on it are numerous pyramids, the tombs of kings, of which three are noteworthy; and two of these are even numbered among the Seven Wonders of the World, for they are a stadium in height, are quadrangular in shape, and their height is a little greater than the length of each of the sides; and one of them is only a little larger than the other. High up, approximately midway between the sides, it has a movable stone, and when this is raised up there is a sloping passage to the vault. The Geography of Strabo, Book XVI [Loeb Classical Library, 1932, pp 90-93]
This topic was posted , and this a re-ping, I sometimes like to re-ping what I've sown. Still working links to videos about the internal ramp theory are just above this message in the topic.
Actually, for the smaller stones, 2.5 tons avg. the
shadouf with a sliding counter weight might have been
possible. Be interesting experiment.
The internal ramp model uses that type of lift at the corners, to turn the stones for their passage up the next side. Why the brilliant engineers didn't just make the stones narrow enough on each axis to not need that isn't explained. :^)
