How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?

[cladking]

Part of my theory for building the pyramids was they first built a road between the source of the stones and the construction site. This road was composed of the very stones that would be used to build the pyramids. Moving stones over sand would be harder to do, whole a stone road would make life easy. Keeping the stones for the road, tight and level, made for less friction; stone pre-fabrication. As you build the stone road from the source of stones, you can use the built part of the road, to haul the next batch of stones to extend the road, toward the construction site.

Lastly, after the road is finished, the road is disassembled, in the same order it was built. The largest stones, that created the staging area at the quarry, for the road, becomes the foundation stones of the pyramid. As the road gets shorter and shorter, away from the quarry, the pyramid is rising. The road was gone when they finished.

The invention of the wheel, was about 4000BC, and may have been used on the road.

It was completely in their interests to keep the friction on the funicular route as low as practical and since no men had to walk on it they could make it smooth and slippery. They probably used tura limestone to build them because it is much smoother and could just be greased. Remember they needed 10 years just to build the infrastructure and to keep the Turah Mines operating continually for 30 years to produce all the cladding. These roads were pulled up and used to make cladding stones. No ramps, just "roads" or funicular routes.

Another thing that amazes me is how can a civilization capable of such a marvel not leave sufficient records for history of what this was all about.

Exactly!!!

The records are copious. They are ubiquitous but they are in a language we can't understand. "Tefnut by means of her arms makes the earth high under the sky".

Not only are there records everywhere including blueprints but the physical evidence is all in plain sight.

We are homo circularis rationatio and are totally blind to what we will not see.

Defining "simple machines" is not responding. You need to show what machines were used and evidence it was used.

Respond.

Thank you for responding. You caught me off guard.

Yes. This word was the word for ramp. The problem is, as I stated, the word is not attested from the great pyramid building age. It's very first attestation is circa 2300 BC 400 years AFTER the great pyramids were built.

Ramps are attested to by actual physical use of ramps in three locations at least.

As referenced physical ramps were used in the quarry, Meidum and the Giza pyramids.

Ramps were not used to apply the clading.

Since no one is likely to respond I will.

This is what the blueprints look like;

None survive from the great pyramids building era but later people copied many of them. If you could think like an Egyptian you'd recognize all this at a glance. I can model Egyptian thought so some of them make sense to me. I doubt this specific one is even real. The more gods in the boat the more complex the image. These are all context specific as well and require deduction as to exactly what they apply. It appears to be a schedule for operations of some sort.

First the stones are still hot and now the ramps are still in use.


edited to note; I misinterpreted this. You simply have no evidence any of these ramps were used.

 

[shunyadragon]

There is no evidence even possible that a book of incantation can be shown to be translated properly.

The evidence is clear and specific there is documented research and discoveries for translation of Hieroglyphics.

This is not a response to my stating all you did was define "simple machines". Now you won't respond to this or my last post.

 

[shunyadragon]

Incredible.

I said the word "ramp" is not attested from the great pyramid building age and you repreat a claim that they are known to have been used at Meidum.

It is attested to by the Egyptians use of the word ramp in their language.

Ramps were not used to apply the clading.

So how was it lifted up? Swallows?

I DIDN'T SAY THEY WERE NOT TRANSLATED. I said THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THEY ARE TRANSLATED PROPERLY.

Please respond.

You're not even trying.

I SAID, THE WORD "RAMP" ISN'T ATTESTED FROM THE MNGREAT PYRAMID BUILDING AGE.

You can't show otherwise. No Egyptologist would try to say otherwise because it's a true statement. Indeed Egyptologists made fun of Mercer for translating the word "ramp" from two centuries after the great pyramids in the sentence. "A ramp is trodden for thee to the Dȝ.t to the place where Śȝḥ is". And not even Mercer said stones were dragged on the ramp.

 

[cladking]

Mebbe I should start making your argument for you. at least I would address every point.

The word is documented in the Egyptian hieroglyphics and three locations when the pyramids were being built.

Bad spelling does not help your groundless assertions.

 

[shunyadragon]

No problem your simply stoically rejecting the evidence.

Please respond.

Assertion on your part without any qualifications nor independent documentations.

 

[shunyadragon]

So how was it lifted up? Swallows?

No carried up the sides of the pyramid using strps shown in the reference. including pictures of the clading.

What locations? What great pyramid?
