Some new theories on the building of the pyramids

For centuries, archaeologists have debated how the Egyptians built the massive pyramids.

Many theories explain how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids over 4,000 years ago. The ramp theory is the most common. It says slaves built the pyramids using ramps to move the massive stones into place. But archaeologists have proven that myth false. Some theories suggest that the Egyptians had access to advanced technologies. Recent discoveries have tried to reveal the true methods of this ancient civilization.

Recent theories of pyramid construction.

How did ancient Egyptians construct the pyramids without modern technology? Now, a team of engineers and geologists has a new theory. It is a hydraulic lift device. The team has proposed that builders used a hydraulic lift to construct the Pyramid of Djoser. It raised heavy stone blocks through the center of the pyramid with stored water. Experts call this method "volcano fashion." It involves using water pressure to float limestone blocks upward. Then, a float raises the heavy stones into position at the top of the pyramid. A research institute, Paleotechnic, proposed the theory. It specializes in archaeology and ancient technologies.

They based their theory on a vast hydraulic complex at Saqqarah, a few miles from the Step Pyramid of Djoser. It included basins, trenches, tunnels, and a sediment trap called Gisr el-Mudir.?These could have enabled a water management system for the lift system.

The Egyptians built the Pyramid of Djoser, or the Step Pyramid of Djoser, in the 27th century BC. It is a 6-tier, 4-sided pyramid.

Ingenious Solution?

Some want to hail the theory as an "ingenious solution." But some Egyptologists are skeptical. The ramp theory has gained broader acceptance.

The reasons that the experts and Egyptologists are skeptical of this theory is that they cite the limited rainfall during the Old Kingdom period. There is also evidence of traditional ramp methods at the other pyramids. They include small ramps and inclined causeways.

We may never solve this tantalizing puzzle.

We may never achieve a complete understanding of how they built the pyramids. New theories keep emerging. Another recent theory by scientists is to use water. It may reduce friction when moving the massive stones.?Researchers have found a long-lost branch of the Nile. It would have flowed near 30 pyramids.?This could explain a lot. It is about how they transported the massive stone blocks to build the huge structures.

We must conclude that the pyramids' construction is a puzzle. One of the world's greatest mysteries can only solve it. As the popular phrase goes, the pyramids are a riddle wrapped in an enigma. The pyramids and their construction continue to fascinate modern scholars and scientists.
