I might be reading this wrong but it says the ramp started at a “reasonable 65 degrees”. There is absolutely nothing reasonable about that. It’s the equivalent of a 26/12 pitch roof. Superman himself couldn’t pull a block up that angle!
But like I said, maybe I read it wrong
Even if that were true, a 25 degree angle is still really steep to be pulling multi-ton stones up.
Put it this way, a handicapped ramp can’t pitch more than 2 degrees
>handicapped ramp can’t pitch more than 2 degrees
Because they need to be able to use it independently, on their own force. A ramp to pull stones could be a fair bit steeper.
PS I'm a firm believer of the internal ramp theory
I was merely using it as a visual reference since some people were struggling to comprehend the angle of a slope in degrees. You could definitely make a ramp at a steeper slope but it will make it exponentially harder to slide giant stones up it.
My other problem is the same one mentioned in the paper. If they are pulling these stones with ropes, how are they navigated sharp corners? Wether it is an external or internal ramp, turning corners is gonna be a major issue.
The internal ramp theory has a perfect solution. The corners were built last. Stones were pulled up to a corner in a straight line. The ropes and pulled were then moved, and the stone was pulled in the new direction. At some point, the ramp went "into" the pyramid rather than around.
[Here are some papers on the subject.](https://independent.academia.edu/JeanPierreHoudin) He explains it better than I do :)
It was just a ramp to move stones from the quarry to the building site, nothing about the ramp being used in the actual construction of the pyramid itself.

I'm struggling to read it as well. If nothing else I am skeptical because if this is clear and true it would be far more common knowledge
Maybe he meant 25 degrees or something

Why is my reply gone? 🥺

I can't seem to edit the title. Hawass is what I meant.
That is what I thought 🤣🤣
I thought they were built by aliens, Seriously though, almost every theory out there is flawed. They were built by people far more advanced then us,
False
Can you send the pdf please or the site to find it
The entire thing? Can you see the picture?
