Jean Pierre approached the mystery of the great pyramid with an architect’s eye. Working from the most detailed architectural plans ever drawn of the great pyramid—slowly, his theory began to evolve. As the years passed, unnoticed by with Egyptologists he came to know that minute details of the pyramid like no one else on earth.
The $64,000.00 question is, how do you raise blocks all the way to the top of a 480 foot pyramid? We saw that there were real problems with either a single ramp or a spiral ramp. And lifting cranes certainly do not do the job. So how do you do it? That is the problem Jean Pierre has been tackling for all these years.
His solutions still has a ramp but it is inside the pyramid and incredibly according to Jean Pierre, it has been hidden there for 4,500 years. He calculated that the slope of this ramp had to be about 7% so the men could hold the blocks up it. He also figured, the ramp would have to start a base of the pyramid and go upwards as the pyramid grew. It is not as easy as it sounds.
Remember, the pyramid is not solid. Inside the great pyramid are three large chambers, the lowest one is called the Queen’s chamber. Above it, is a mysterious room called the Grand Galore, and on top of all that is the King’s burial chamber. All three chambers are connected by passage ways.
Is it possible to have a ramp snaking up through the pyramid that does not run into one of this chambers or passageways? As he began building his computer model, he could see the ramp just 10 feet inside to smooth out surface of the pyramid turning level of to level all the way to the top of the pyramid. Kind of like a ramp in a parking garage. Amazingly Jean Pierre ramp never hit any of the chambers or passage ways inside the great pyramid.
For the first time in history, a structural 3D model of the great pyramid had been built to test a theory. Jean Pierre knew the internal ramp was a real possibility. But he still had problems to solve, how to turn the blocks around the corners of the ramp? You see the men holding the blocks need a place to stand in front of the blocks. When they reach the end of the straightway on the ramp, where can they stand to pull the block?
Jean Pierre solution is to leave the corners open at the end of each length of the ramp a notch about 30 feet square would have been left open, this notch let in light and fresh air but it had an even more important function. Stationed at each corner, was a crane that would lift and position the block so it could travel up the next flight of the ramp, these cranes could be the machines that horrendous was talking about.
But like any good detective story, we have been saving the best for last. If Jean Pierre is right about the internal ramp, the French team should have detected it in their 1980’s high tech survey. In the French team’s published report, there was no diagram of an internal ramp. It looks like Jean Pierre is wrong, surely study this sophisticated would have found evidence of something as large as an internal ramp.
But 15 years after the study Jean Pierre was asked to meet a member of the French team who said he had some very good news for him. Doctor Bui had heard about Jean Pierre theory and wanted to show him something, a diagram that the French did not fully understand so they never published it. This computer printout shows a low density spiral shape inside the great pyramid, it is amazingly close to Jean Pierre’s drawing of the internal ramp. So, years before Jean Pierre’s theory the French may have found evidence of an internal ramp inside the great pyramid.
