This book examines the architectural achievements of the Egyptian pyramid builders and how they may have accomplished those deeds. Many of their building techniques we today cannot explain. The baffling puzzle of how the stones were raised is one of these. The big puzzle aside, many minor mysteries are for the first time explained. Egyptologists agree that those performing the heavy labor were conscripted citizens, not slaves. The builders were inventive, motivated, daring, and superbly organized. They made mistakes, the price of innovation. Still, they persevered, and created some of the most impressive monuments in history. This book should help the reader understand the problems the builders faced, and instill admiration of their work.

What do the pyramids of Egypt really represent? What could have driven so many to so great, and often so dangerous, an effort? Was the motivation religious or practical? Illustrated with more than 300 photographs and drawings, this book presents an original approach to the subject of pyramid building. It reveals the connection between devices that served both a practical need for survival and a spiritual belief in gods and goddesses. It examines Egyptian technologies and techniques from the origins of pyramid development to the step-by-step details of how the ground was leveled, how the site was oriented, and how the stone was raised and placed to meet at a distant point in the sky. Here the author also asks and answers questions virtually ignored for the last century. He discloses, for example, the ancient use of shadows, now denigrated to the ornamental back-yard sundial, but once an important tool for telling the height of an object, geographical directions, the seasons of the year, and the time of day. He also reinterprets the ancient "stretching of the cord" ceremony, which once was thought to have only religious significance but here is shown as the means of establishing the sides of a pyramid.

Going beyond even the expertise of archaeologists and historians, world-class engineer Craig B. Smith explores the planning and engineering behind the incredible Great Pyramid of Giza. How would the ancient Egyptians have developed their building plans, devised work schedules, managed laborers, solved specific design and engineering problems, or even improvised on the job? The answers are here, along with dazzling, one-of-a-kind color photographs and beautiful hand-drawn illustrations of tools, materials, and building techniques the ancient masters used. In his foreword to the book, Egypt's Undersecretary of State for the Giza Monuments Zahi Hawass explains the importance of understanding the Great Pyramid as a straightforward construction project.

Building Egyptian Pyramids - Achieving the Impossible This book provides a comprehensive description of all the design and building processes the Ancient Egyptians might have used to build their pyramids. Many of these are my original ideas and are the result of a search for practical and credible solutions to each of the problems presented. This is a book, not only about moving heavy blocks of stone, but a systematic and detailed sequential description of every aspect of pyramid building, which explains how the Ancient Egyptians were able to create all their monuments with the tools and materials available to them. Examples include a consistent method for accurately forming the shape of every Egyptian pyramid without an apex reference - The Virtual Apex Method. A simple method for determining the diagonal lengths and centrepoint positions of large squares without measuring - The Virtual Centrepoint. A materials delivery system which provides external access to all parts of the pyramid at every height and with a volume a fraction of a perpendicular ramp - The Integrated Spiral Ramp and Platforms. There is also an explanation of where the blocks which form the King's Chamber and Relieving Ceilings in the Great Pyramid should have been placed and why. The supplements describe the consistent geometry of the most well-known pyramids and also suggest how Eiffel might have simplified the construction processes of his tower, had been aware of the Virtual Apex Method and how it was exploited by the Ancient Egyptians. Taken together these ideas and their practical implementation provide a comprehensive and realistic description of Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Building. In fact it was impossible for them to build an accurate solid pyramid of any size in any other way. This is a book for everybody. Whether you are an Egyptologist, Mathematician, Engineer, Architect or simply interested in puzzles, the text and over 100 diagrams, illustrations and photographs will take you step by step through the whole design and construction processes For more than 4500 years, many have searched for answers to how the Ancient Egyptians were able to build their pyramids successfully. You will find the answers here!

An original explanation of all the processes used to construct every pyramid in Ancient Egypt. It includes comprehensive diagrams and photographs in support of the text. See how the Egyptians applied original geometry to use as a Virtual Apex and Virtual Centrepoint in order to build their structures accurately. Methods which gave them time to prefabricate all the blocks before they were delivered to the pyramid itself. How the use of a simple ramp spiraling round the pyramid, included a platform at every course level and enabled the workers to speedily push every block into place. No fancy machines, pulleys or struggles to lift heavy blocks. Nothing in fact, which didn't exist during their time over 4500 years ago. Read about them here for the first time in over 4500 years!

It’s easy to see that building the Egyptian pyramids using a ramp would have been impractical and too labor intensive to make sense. And it's doubtful to think they were built by aliens or giant people, big cranes or flying machines. But how were they built? After years of pondering and running model after model through my mind, I have come up with a theory that makes sense, seems to answer all unreasonable questions, and is clearly possible in their days using simple physics, mechanical means, common materials, and skilled human beings. This plan uses 0.1 percent the energy needed to drag a stone up a ramp and to set a stone on top of the pyramid every two to three minutes, putting the stone cutters to their limit.

Joseph Davidovits explains the intriguing theory that made him famous. He shows how the Pyramids were built by using re-agglomerated stone (a natural limestone treated like a concrete), and not with huge carved blocks, hauled on fragile ramps. Archaeology bears him out, as well as hieroglyphic texts, scientific analysis, religious and historical facts. The author sweeps aside the conventional image which cripples Egyptology and delivers a captivating and surprising view of this civilisation; the first complete presentation on how the pyramids were built. The revelations are sensational, especially when he explains why the pharaohs stopped building great pyramids because of an over-exploitation of raw materials and a likely environmental disaster. He charts the rise of this technology, its apogee at Giza, and the decline. Everything is logical, everything fits into place.
