The Virtual Apex Method for Accurate Pyramid Construction

This video demonstrates the application of the Virtual Apex Method for accurate pyramid construction without the apex as a reference. It is applied here to form a small pyramid with exactly the same shape as the Great Pyramid in Egypt using only a ruler, a level and plumb line, a straightedge, stringlines and basic arithmetic.

The Virtual Apex Method can be used to form a pyramid with any number of sides and of different lengths, with all their faces meeting at an apex which is at any height above any point on the base.

The Ancient Egyptians applied the method in its simplest form when building all their pyramids.

The method is summarised here and described in greater detail in my book "Building Egyptian Pyramids – Achieving the Impossible" which has over 100 accompanying diagrams, drawings, photographs and a detailed explanation of how its use in Ancient Egypt provided the Ancient Egyptians with a fundamental design process for building all their massive pyramids.
