Ramp found that was used in the construction of the Great Pyramid
It is another moment of the Great Pyramid "This could explain everything!". Researchers who dug in an alabaster quarry where the Egyptians excavated the stones used for the massive construction project uncovered the remains of what appears to be a ramp, stairs and pole pits that helped the workers move the huge stones to the where they were transported. to the site of the pyramid in Giza. While similar systems have been found in limestone quarries, this is the first in an alabaster mine and shows that this primitive but effective technology dates back to Cheops.
"The mission successfully discovered a unique system to extract and transfer stone blocks from the lower part of the quarry after removing the debris used to cover them, which can be dated to the reign of King Khufu of the 4th Dynasty. The movement system consists of the central ramp surrounded by two flights of stairs containing post holes that help lift the block of alabaster stone through at least 20% thick ramp ".
Dr. Yannis Gourdon of the Institut Français d'Archéologie orientale is the co-director, together with Dr. Roland Enmarch of the University of Liverpool), of the Hatnub Epigraphic Project whose purpose is "to record commemorative texts of pharaonic expeditions to the Egyptian alabaster quarries in Hatnub (in the desert 18 km southeast of Amarna)". Revealed the new discovery there in the Luxor Times (including photos) and explains in LiveScience that the stones were first placed on a sled before being taken off at an angle of 20 degrees. In addition to the ramp system, the researchers also found inscriptions and drawings that link the quarry with Cheops / Khufu.
The ramp system may have been used both in the quarry and at the construction site.
"At least 100 inscriptions commemorating pharaonic expeditions to the alabaster quarries in Hatnub, from the Old Kingdom to the New Kingdom, have been discovered. When studying the inscriptions in the detected construction devices, we conclude that this ramp belongs, at least, to the reign of Pharaoh Cheops, who ordered the construction of the Great Pyramid in Giza. This means that even in the times of Cheops, the ancient Egyptians knew how to move huge blocks of stone even on very steep slopes. "
While the exterior of the Great Pyramid is made of limestone blocks of 2.3 metric tons, some alabaster was also used outside, but its main use was for floors, statues and coffins. Mustafa Waziri, secretary general of Egypt's Ministry of Antiquities, confirms that this is the first evidence showing how the heavy blocks were lifted and moved from the quarries.
A ramp is much more elegant.
Unfortunately, the discovery is tempered by bad news. The Institut Français d'Archeologie Orientale website He notes that the quarry is now known to the general public and is in danger of becoming an operational operation again, destroying this and other evidence of how the pyramids were built. It is hoped that this can be delayed at least until the researchers learn how this ramp system was used to build the Great Pyramid ... not to mention what happened between them to get the stones from one place to another.
As always, money speaks louder than preservation.
