<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">PARIS - A French architect claimed Friday to have uncovered the mystery about how Egypt's Great Pyramid of Khufu was built ? with use of a spiral ramp to hoist huge stone blocks into place. The construction of the Great Pyramid 4,500 years ago by Khufu, a ruler also known as Cheops, has long befuddled scientists as to how its 3 million stone blocks weighing 2.5 tons each were lifted into place.</div> Source Pretty interesting theory.
I can't watch the 3D video, plugin not found. I'm not sure how viable the theory is. It would take a ridiculous amount of man power to move that many stones up the ramp. 2.5 tons on an incline, there had to be some type of mechanical apparatus used.
Honestly, I wonder what went through these people's heads while they were making these things. "Hey, lets come up with some crazy device that puts 2.5 ton blocks on top of each other so that people hundreds of years of now will freak out and go crazy."
