Building Kheops Giza great pyramid from Inside Out

Great Pyramid Built Inside Out, French Architect Says

Ancient Egyptians built the 480-foot-high (146-meter-high) Great Pyramid of Giza from the inside out, according to a French architect.

Based on eight years of study, Jean-Pierre Houdin has created a novel three-dimensional computer simulation to present his hypothesis. He says his findings solve the mystery of how the massive monument just outside Cairo was constructed.

The 4,500-year-old tomb of Pharaoh Khufu, he concluded, was built using a ramp that spirals around the pyramid's interior 30 to 45 feet (9 to 14 meters) behind the exterior surface (see image at left).

"I am completely comfortable with this theory," Houdin said in a telephone interview from Paris. He was in the French capital on Friday to show the simulation to 400 spectators wearing 3-D goggles.

Previous theories have suggested that builders on Egypt's Giza Plateau hoisted the pyramid's millions of multi-ton stone blocks using an external ramp.

Such a structure either corkscrewed around the pyramid's outer surface or grew in a straight line with the pyramid, the theories contend.

Houdin's theory posits that a long, straight ramp was used to build the first 129 feet (39 meters) of the pyramid and the internal ramp was used to complete construction.

Drawings from a 1986 survey of the pyramid show a "spiral anomaly" inside that conforms exactly to this theory, he said.

Houdin and French computer-imaging firm Dassault Systemes spent two years building a computer model to test the hypothesis.

"We have done it in the 3-D world," he said. "The virtual pyramid is the same as the [real-life] Giza pyramid."
The new theory is even greater proof that the Great Pyramid "is a marvel of engineering, planning, and conservation," he said.

Houdin said he had applied for permission to test his theory on the actual pyramid using radar scans and other sensing equipment.

huh, Egypt, give this guy a permission !!!

[Chingu4Life]

This video is so detailed about Jean-Pierre and his theory! Thanks for the video! :D

That American dude sounds like he's trying to sell something. I'm not convinced.

Either way...the Egyptians would stilll have had to drag 2.5 Mil. stones up a ramp...Rediculous....neverthel­ess---The Pyramid isn't a tomb, and this is just more Mainstream Media BS....The riddle in stone is "Not" solved.

The Pyramid isn't a symbolic ressurection machine....it's a real one....

They are trying to say that they piled up 2.5 Mil. stones for the purpose of burying 1 man---that would be pretty dumb...it's an "Energy Machine."

National Geographic is a giant "Toady."

Fascinating documentary evidence, i hope he gets permission to verify his theories of construction and critical path analysis, plus his new theory of additional burial vaults.

Hopefully the political unrest will be solved so a stable and free Egypt can be obtained so a view to their amazing past can be solved and celebrated by its people.

THE SIZE OF THE THING AND THE WORK INVOLVED

[favio1415]

What he said when they asked him if he has seen the pyramid yet - "the architect built the pyramid even before the pyramid was there" is very very logical...

this is kinda cool:D

No sense of Honor, pity I guess the Philosophers of Old are right the Egos of Man Stunt the Growth of Logic and Compassion, truly a pity this is by far the weakest debate I have ever come across, I am now simply pointing out how rude you first comment was, a theory is not fact unless it is agreed upon by a majority or at least a minority, even then you need the evidence to back it up and one website is not enough, there are scores of theories and none of them are facts, Yet. Truly a Pity...

@Zacarriss There ya go again whining to other viewers in hope of support. YAWN! and Adios para Simpre!

You can have the last word if you want, I know you need it to bolster your deep sense of self pride!

[77GSlinger]

@Zacarriss I told you you are boring me. What part of that don't you get?

[Zacarriss]

@Zacarriss However calling me a coward will not go far in helping your point, Words from the Wise "Truth comes not from the Words of Others, for they can be Deceiving, Truth can only be found by actively searching thru all the Deceptions." So go ahead call me a Coward for asking for help? It tells me that I am Human and Humans banded together to survive together... We are not perfect, we are not infallible, I search for the Truth about History, not the theory of History, the Truth.
