Based on the research of the Pharaoh’s Pump Foundation the Great Pyramid was not built using a large ramp. The Great Pyramid was built in a very different manner!
There is a profound link between water and the Great Pyramid. The Original Builders used water locks from the Nile River up to the building site to bring stones on barges up to where the Great Pyramid was built. This systematic and fast method was used by the Original Builders is simple but very sophisticated. The Great Pyramid was built level by level. The first layer of casing stones were set in place and bonded together. This created a wall of casing stones. This area was filled with water and the casing stones impounded a pond.
A water lock was built into the wall of casing stones. This allowed the rough cut interior stones on barges to travel through the water lock and into the pond impounded by the casing stones. Then the rough cut interior stones were moved off the barges and into the pond. When the pond is filled with the rough cut interior stones that level of the Great Pyramid is completed!
During the beginning stages of construction the wall around the building site was built as well as the first layer of casing stones. The first layer of casing stones are bonded together water tight which makes a square wall. The first layer of casing stones is used to impound a pond.
Built into the wall of casing stones is a water lock system which allows stones on barges to travel from the Nile river all the way up to the building site and into the pond impounded by the first level of casing stones. In this manner the stones were moved up from the Nile into the pond impounded by the casing stones at the building site. Then the rough cut interior stones of the first level of the Great Pyramid are brought up the water locks into the pond and then moved from the barge and lowered into the pond allowing the interior stone to be set in its final location. When the first level of the Great Pyramid is completed an additional water lock is built into the next higher level of casing stones and the process continues.
After the second layer of casing stones were set in place and bonded together additional water was used to fill the area impounded by the second layer of casing stones. The additional water causes the level of the pond to be at the height of the 2nd layer of casting stones. At this point the pond is now impounded by the second layer of casing stones. This creates a higher pond which was used during the construction of the second level of the Great Pyramid. Yet this higher pond is still only waist deep.
This systematic process continues level by level. A level is completed by setting in place the casing stones for that level first. Then the interior stones for that level are sent in place. When a level is completed the the level above it is assembled in the same manner. Each level had a water lock so that stones on barges could travel all the way up to the level of the pond. A series or flight of water locks were built into the casing stones to allow the easy transport of stones on barges up the water locks to the needed height. The Great Pyramid was built level by level including casing stones all the way up to the apex. The Original Builders were geniuses! No massive ramp of greater volume than the Great Pyramid was used or needed to build the Great Pyramid water pump.
Stones on barges are moved up to the pond where construction is taking place. In very simple terms each level is completed by setting in place casing stones first and then interior stones. Then the next higher level is built as the Great Pyramid is systematically assembled. The water locks are not just hanging on the side of the Great Pyramid. The water locks are built into the wall of casing stones. This is depicted in detail in our 1st documentary about how the Great Pyramid water pump was assembled.
These workers are in the pond but are standing on the rough cut interior stones of the level below the pond. By adding additional water, the pond rises level by level as the construction progresses towards the apex. The reason why water does not “leak” out between the rough cut interior stones is that the casing stones are watertight all the way down to the base of the Great Pyramid. There is water between the cracks of the rough cut interior stones all the way down to the base of the structure as well as water in the pond.
This is an extremely abbreviated explanation of the assembly process used to build the Great Pyramid. Steven Myers has written a book as well as produced a documentary describing the fascinating process the Original Builders used to assemble the great Pyramid using water locks and barges. Below is a short video trailer for his 1st book and 1st documentary about how the great Pyramid water pump was built! Both Books and documentaries are available from Amazon.com.
