Building Egyptian Pyramids - Achieving the Impossible

This book of over 150 pages provides a comprehensive description of all the design and building processes the Ancient Egyptians might have used to build their pyramids.

Many of these are original ideas and the result of a search for practical and credible solutions to each of the problems presented.

This is a book not only about moving heavy blocks of stone, but a systematic and detailed sequential description of every aspect of pyramid building, which explains how the Ancient Egyptians were able to create all their monuments with the tools and materials available to them.

Examples include a consistent method for accurately forming the shape of every Egyptian pyramid without an apex reference, using The Virtual Apex Method.

A method for determining the diagonal lengths and centrepoint positions of large squares using Reference Squares, Virtual Centrepoints and a substitute for √2.

A Spiral Ramp and Platform system which provides external access to all parts of the pyramid at every height and with a volume a fraction of a single perpendicular ramp.

The arrangement of the three pyramids at Giza providing evidence for an overall plan from the outset, based on a single Reference Diagonal

An explanation of where the blocks forming the King’s Chamber and Relieving Ceilings in the Great Pyramid should have been placed and why.

Taken together these ideas provide an original, comprehensive and realistic description of Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Building. 

This is a book for everybody

Whether you are an Egyptologist, Mathematician, Engineer, Architect or simply interested in puzzles, the text and over 100 diagrams, illustrations and photographs will take you step by step through the whole design and construction process.
For more than 4500 years, many have searched for answers to how the Ancient Egyptians were able to build their pyramids successfully.

You will find the answers here!
