A monolithic temple, estimated to have weighed up to 5,000 tons and made with granite, and obelisks much larger than any moved in modern times are reported in ancient literature. Egyptologists have found the remains of monolithic statues weighing over 1,000 tons, which once stood erect and aligned on pedestals. These objects were located hundreds of miles from quarries. Comparable objects and placements have not been duplicated with today's masonry and engineering technology capable of applying tremendous brute force.
Archaeologists have not found flat tracks stretching over miles or dry docks near quarries, as one would expect to be associated with construction sites involving truly massive weights. Egyptologists have found only primitive earthen ramps for raising pyramid blocks, structures that cannot support the heavy weights incorporated into the Great Pyramid. Experiments with metal tools demonstrate that the best tools of the Pyramid Age, made of copper or stone, cannot produce masonry features of the Great Pyramid that are amazing by modern standards.
When building the Great Pyramids at Giza, workers incorporated roughly the amount of masonry over a 60 year period as it took later workers in the Theban area, in southern Egypt, 1,500 years. We attribute the speed of construction to a Late Stone Age technology that was gradually lost, and certainly in severe decline by the time Thebes became Egypt’s capital .
What was the ancient secret?
The Egyptian Pyramid Mystery Is Solved!
is presented as a two-volume set:
Volume 1: The Mysteries
Volume 2: The Solution
For those who must skim books quickly, here is what the book is NOT about:
Space alien or highly advanced technology: This book does NOT advocate the notion that the ancient Egyptians had contact with any form of technology that could be classified as high-tech or supertech. Instead, the Egyptians possessed a simple, but highly sophisticated, Late Stone Age technology that did not depend upon the kind of brute force associated with today's power saws and cranes. Their elegant, highly efficient technology declined as required natural resources ran out, eventually reaching oblivion.The book does NOT propose or otherwise introduce clever cutting machines or mechanical lifting mechanisms. To do so would defy the archaeological record carefully established by over 100 years of Egyptological research. Instead, an entirely new masonry and engineering paradigm is established. This fully recovered (today many patents are held for it) technology complies with the archaeological and historical record.
This book NEITHER IGNORES NOR ADVOCATES unsatisfying and/or simplistic solutions to unexplained masonry and engineering problems: The trend in Egyptology in recent decades is to mitigate unexplained pyramid construction problems or ignore them altogether. Read any authoritative book and you will find construction theories for the Great Pyramid that depend upon averaging block weights at 2.5 tons and raising them on earthen ramps. The Egyptian Pyramid is Solved! shows that the many dramatically impressive features of the Great Pyramid that make such calculations invalid.
This book does NOT offer speculation and/or technologies that have no basis in fact: Instead, this is a book about a long lost, fully recovered technology. This technology is back to serve the mounting engineering needs of the modern world.
What this book DOES accomplish:
This book sets out masonry and engineering problems that have baffled researches since the inception of Egyptology. It shows a dire need for a whole new masonry and construction paradigm. It disproves the accepted theories of pyramid construction. It show that only one solution, the one proven in Volume 2, makes any sense.
The ramifications of this book:
Today there is a yardstick governing what can be built and how long those structures will endure. The recovered pyramid building technology opens up new possibilities for durable, high-strength building operations.
As we reflect upon the great megalithic structures of the distant past, made with rock types too hard and dense to be easily cut with the best modern tools, we can let our imaginations soar at the possibilities. The obelisk-shaped U.S. Washington Monument stands 169 meters tall. It is hollow and built of thousands of individual stone blocks. By comparison, the Roman historian Pliny reported an obelisk 200 feet tall with each of its sides measuring 17 feet wide, but it was monolithic. A monolithic statue of Pharaoh Ramses II measured during the early days of Egyptology was estimated at about 1,200 tons.
Modern engineers must design structures that can protect our civilization from a changing and uncertain environment. If modern resources are brought to bear on the recovered ancient technology, the great architectural achievements of the past will pale alongside of what is possible today.
