Egyptian Pyramid Construction Process
A French architect claims to have revealed a way of making the Great Pyramid of Khufu did the ancient Egyptians thousands of years ago. According to him, the construction of pyramids made from the inside and not outside as illustrated construction of the experts over the years.
Construction giant who built Khufu’s pyramid, also known as Cheops, 4500 years ago has long attracted the attention of scientists. 137-meter-high pyramid is composed of about 3 million pieces of stone, each weighing 2.5 tons.
Well how do they lift heavy stones that? Archaeologists and scientists of other disciplines to solve problems because there is not much secret evidence left by the Egyptians. During this time, experts believe the pyramid of Khufu was built from its main building in the middle and then to the side to form the slopes or build a side slope one by one.
However, after doing research for eight years, architect Jean-Pierre Houdin believes the other. Of the three-dimensional computer model that successfully programmed seen that the pyramid was built from the ground up. At first the lower slopes built to a height of 43 meters. Then proceed with building construction in the upper slope to reach the top.
Houdin also claimed to be able to explain other puzzles how to put the King Rooms are constructed of 5 pieces of granite weighing 60 tons at space pyramid. Based on the pyramid form a high and wide, he believed the Egyptians use the same heavy stones to raise it with a kind of pulley.
With these techniques, to build a tomb for the king, he estimates that it takes only 4,000 people. This estimate is much smaller than the predictions of experts previously estimated at 100 thousand people. Houdin plans to prove his theory by testing directly without damaging the pyramid.
