The only advantage an internal ramp offers is, you can see the sides of the thing during construction. Right? And the disadvantages are many. IMHO keeping track of the slope is an easier problem than the structural work and risk involved in an internal ramp. It didn't have to be perfect until the cladding went on - last. That gave them a chance to make corrections.

Meaning the "obvious" was hiding in plain sight for centuries, for anyone to see! Apparently before him, almost none payed attention to the relation. Also according to reports the same technique is still used in other North Africa countries!! From pilling up sand bags to straw bales, seems to be an omnipresent popular knowledge!! What I find truly fascinating is the "obvious" that construction workers and farmers still use today. For it they don't even need to read or write or make advanced calculations... Because it work and it's easy/efficient. A true "Colombo's egg"! ;-)

As I read in one of the comments, I'm fully aware that I won't be 100% right regarding all the details (I was not on site during the construction of Khufu's pyramid), but I can assure you that all the main ideas will be proved in due time: - External ramp + internal ramp to build the body of the pyramid Inside-out - Counterweight systems to hoist the huge granite beams from the port up to their final place above the King's chamber - Presence of unknown corridors and chambers Time will tell My 2 cts ;-) Thank you for your support Jean-Pierre

Hey, so what is known now after 4 years? Seems that the stones are dimensionally perfect for flipping. The pyramid is a ramp its self. Water between two polished surfaces floats them no matter the weight like an ice rink. The first large pyramid with two elevation angles was the learning phase for building above ramp level. Massive amounts of people that believe whatever they are told can accomplish unimaginable tasks. Good or bad. Rope and non-tackle pulleys could have been used, but I think simple levers and brute force are the key contributing factor.

common sense would dictate that the higher portions are probably composed of smaller, lighter blocks. Perhaps the ancients used a graduated size of block as they ascended. a major portion of the interior could have been filled with rumble eliminating the need for dressed block courses. The major achievement of the ancients was their ability to keep the slopes at a constant angle and make certain that level was flat and within specs. That is what I find so awesome about their engineering. I also think that draft animals were used to haul weights, oxen for example. I wish someone would do a program on how they levelled the ground to receive the massive structure. No mystery just good consistent plane geometery.

This idea of a ramp is all well and good, until you look at the Pyramid of Djedefre. It sits on top of a hillock and is 481ft higher at its base than the great pyramid. Apparently the ramp angle idea fails when used against this as the hillock is steep enough that it'd make ramp construction unfeasible.

The internal construction the kings chamber, queens chamber and accending passageways were all built first before any outer stones were laid. To build the queens & kings chamber they counterweight pulled all the granite stone blocks up the accending entrance (the entrance leading to the Grand gallery). You can see that the accending entrance starts at allmost ground level then if you look at the ground and lower wall surface in the Grand gallery you can see signs on the stone that they pulled the granite blocks through there on a rail system of flat and rollers type material then up to the anti-chamber next to the kings chamber and counterweight lifted those blocks with amazing precision up to build 5 tier kings chamber. There is grooves in the walls of the anti-chamber which ithink show were the ropes were put to act as a lift pulley

@Romano Coombs LMAO why are you spewing nonsense? The latest analysis succeeded by bypassing soft tissue - often abundant in Egyptian mummies - to seek DNA from bone and teeth. Researchers carefully screened the DNA to rule out contamination from anyone who had handled the mummies since their excavation a century ago in the ancient town of Abusir el-Meleq. “More than half of the mummies we studied had pretty decent DNA preservation,” says co-author Johannes Krause, a palaeogeneticist at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, Germany. The team “succeeds where previous studies on Egyptian mummies have failed or fallen short”, says Hannes Schroeder, a palaeogeneticist at the University of Copenhagen. Now, researchers can hope to answer questions such as whether immigration drove ancient-Egyptian population growth, adds Sonia Zakrzewski, a bioarchaeologist at the University of Southampton, UK. The scientists obtained information about variations in mitochondrial DNA, which is passed from mother to child, from 90 mummies. Because of contamination, the team was able to acquire detailed nuclear DNA, which is inherited from both parents, from only three mummies. *Both types of genomic material showed that ancient Egyptians shared little DNA with modern sub-Saharan Africans. Instead, their closest relatives were people living during the Neolithic and Bronze ages in an area known as the Levant. Strikingly, the mummies were more closely related to ancient Europeans and Anatolians than to modern Egyptians.* **The researchers say that there was probably a pulse of sub-Saharan African DNA into Egypt roughly 700 years ago. The mixing of ancient Egyptians and Africans from further south means that modern Egyptians can trace 8% more of their ancestry to sub-Saharan Africans than can the mummies from Abusir el-Meleq.** Source: Nature magazine Note the "pulse of sub-Saharan African DNA into Egypt roughly 700 years ago. The mixing of ancient Egyptians and Africans from further south means that modern Egyptians can trace 8% more of their ancestry to sub-Saharan Africans than can the mummies from Abusir el-Meleq." Ancient Egyptians were semitic peoples, like the people in modern day Lebanon/Israel/Syria. Why try and mislead people?

Just a heads-up... The Great Pyramid (Khufu) doesn't have any of its polished limestone outer casing blocks, and the pyramid you actually talked about and showed (1:36) was Khafre's Pyramid, a smaller, newer pyramid at the complex. A lot of people mistake that pyramid for The Great Pyramid. Not to be harsh on you, and with all due respect of course... but if you can correct that in the video with an annotation or edit, you really should, because it's this exact mistake people (photographers, vloggers, etc) keep making that propagates and perpetuates this incorrect information and identification of The Great Pyramid. It really is an important detail to be able to correctly identify what is, and is not, one of mankind's greatest engineering feats of all-time, and the only remaining wonder of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World.

Let's not forget Khufu's pyramid is not the first one. The first pyramid was build by Imhotep, the great architect and doctor for pharaoh Djoser, called the Step Pyramid. They build it in steps adding massive parts of it to the parts already constructed. Also, in the exterior it looks like steps. Then, pharaoh Sneferu, none other than Khufu's father, build no less than six pyramids. He is the first to achieve the exterior shape of a pyramid (in his second attempt). So, egyptians had knowledge in building pyramids by the time of Khufu.

I love the video. Having said that I find the dismissal of internal ramps to be a bit lazy. Assuming that it wasn’t done because it could go wrong, or would be difficult to do accurately is a weak reason for dismissal. The base of the pyramid isn’t a perfect square, but is slightly pointed inwards forming an eight sided star. I feel like it would be way more difficult to keep those lines straight going up than other methods.

The pyramid has a base that extends 690 feet, and a height of 438 feet. The builders worked at a very high and efficient rate of speed. Egyptologists estimate that it took only 20 years to construct the pyramid. Although some archaeologists have estimated that it was closer to approximately 30 years. Whichever the case, the amount of time exhausted between construction and completion, for something of this size, is remarkable. Lastly, the tools used to build the pyramids were very simple, limited, and primitive; copper chisels, stone mallets, and hemp rope. Still today, many questions how something of this magnitude and with this precision was possible to build in a world with very minimal, to absolutely zero, technology. In addition, the bricks of the pyramid are said to have been measured and fashioned to a particular shape and were not just gathered and stacked upon each other. Each side appears to mirror the other, which indicates a purpose for the shape. The blocks were assembled in a manner that is referred to as heterogeneous; blocks of different sizes and shapes. This was done to ensure the structure would not collapse during natural disasters such as earthquakes. In addition, a topic that raises many unanswered questions concerns how the phenomenal and magnificent wonders of the world may have been built. Mayan pyramids in central South America, pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx in Egypt, Aztec pyramids in Mexico, recently discovered pyramids in Bosnia, and the Stonehenge in England which were all built during different times in our history when global communication was nothing like it is today. At the present time, no one can truthfully explain the building engineers’ concepts of extraordinary accurate alignment and geometric composition to construct megalithic structures like the Egyptian pyramids of Giza or any pyramid around the world. Is there an explanation of how the crop circles were formed in various locations of our world? More specifically are structures that are almost a bigger mystery than any pyramid ever built in the ruins in Puma Punku in Tiahuanaco South America. Could the three ruined structures of Puma Punku be evidence of a long lost civilization? As of today, there is no evidence of who, how, and why the Puma Punku structures were built.

The pyramids are older than what mainstream history report. I believe they were contructed in the antedeluvian period by nephillium giants. There is a lot of ancient egpytian art depicting giants including somw showing giants moving large stone blocks and standing right next to obelisk which they were almost as tall as.

The real answer is: the pyramids at Giza were built thousands of years earlier the the Egyptologist have guessed. 4000 years ago they didn't have the technology necessary for the task. Ask yourself why older the oldest structures around the world are usually the ones with the most innovative building techniques. The theories, hypothesis, and guesses around Egypt's and the America's building technology were put in place by people living over 100 years ago with their limited knowledge. Somehow we've never advanced in our thinking.

Look for Josep Davidovits work about Geopolymers, he found the way Egypt Pyramids and Tiwanaku was build, an he can reproduce it. The Stones was not cut, was manufactured in the same place they are now as we do today with cement buildings. In this way the stones have no gabs between each other and also you can make jugs, bottles, etc. on the lathe, such as ceramics when the stones while remains "fresh". Or symmetric statues such as Ramses II with molds. and its a fact, not an evidence.

You could also build a ramp circling the pyramid. If the sides are 230 meters and you have a 5% incline that's 11,5 meters elevation per side. The ramp wouldn't be as big as you simply add to the already existing ramp after 4 sides. 4 sides is 46 meters, so it would take 4-5 spirals to reach the max height. With support between the spirals,t his isn't hard to do.

If the angle was measued from the edges, the gradient is much lower because the base to height ratio has been increased from 230m (the flat side faces) to 325m (on the edges) on the base to 139m height. A lower gradient. In other words; it would be much easier to build a ramp up one or all of the four edges rather than up the flat sides.

Thanks for your thoughtful video on the subject... seems the main and universal problem (illusion) of reverse engineering the Great Pyramid's construction is the Plateau base assumption, ie, the present bedrock Plateau mass (vertically) roughly represents its original and pre-construction mass. This appears flawed. This, also appears to cause every other problem of understanding the build. My research suggests the Mokattam Formation, at Giza, may have begun as a significantly greater vertical mass, a Butte, rising roughly 715 vertical feet. Love to talk about it, @Rephetic. This is my 13 year thesis, Mount Giza-The Shaft Build, and upcoming book. Thanks again.

An external spiral ramp makes more sense to me than an internal ramp. Less material than a long ramp, and less work and structural complication (and risk) than an interior tunnel. Plus, there's no real evidence of an interior tunnel. I think levers would be even easier, especially for the upper half. Mechanical advantage FTW. Much less stone to move anyway, and a ramp starts getting enormous. Keeping the lines straight isn't so impossible. They obviously knew how to survey a site and lay out a plan - they weren't just eyeballing it. Once the bulk of it was done, they had a chance to fine tune it and cover over any problems with the limestone cladding.
