Great Pyramid Built Inside Out, French Architect Says

According to a French architect, Ancient Egyptians built the 480-foot-high (146-meter-high) Great Pyramid of Giza from the inside out. This findings is based on eight years of study of Jean-Pierre Houdin, who has created a 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 above).

"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.

    The Egyptian cunundrum

    Whether cast in mystical, occult or pure science fiction vernacular there is certainly no denying that the Great Pyramid stands unmatched as the greatest architectural achievement in human history. The intelligence required to design and factor into it's construction was beyond normal for that day.

    The history of Egypt is a long trek across the waterless expanse over the Sahara desert. Once you get started there is no turning back. Who for the life of them would dare to revise what has long been held true. But certain views are held as facts and must be confronted and the textbooks amended.

    The Great Pyramid was built was a precision that cannot be duplicated today which included the dimensions of the planet which was not rediscovered until the 1600. The builder knew the circumference of the earth, the number of days in a year, and the Great year of the Precession.

    He or they knew how to map the earth into degrees of latitude and longitude from different locations on the earth. Without airplanes or satellites, maps could be made with minimum distortions. They knew the diameter of the earth wherein the were able to calculate and establish the universal measurement of the inch.

    The Fibonacci series In mathematics they discovered, the function of pi, and golden ratio. Who knows what more they knew? But as more is discovered it may open the gate to a whole new civilization of the ancient world, and a much longer history of man than has been credited.
