In this article, I emphasized on the case of the Great
Pyramids of the IVth dynasty, mainly the three Pyramids of Giza. I focus in
particular on the Cheops'one, the most enigmatic because of its internal design,
but actually and paradoxically the most revealing of the Pyramids' constructive
system we present here (2).
According to most researchers, the pyramid stones do not come from "very far
away in Arabia", and the building process was not achieved with the help of
"lands gathering needed to haul the blocks", but by directly borrowing the
plateau of Giza's surrounding materials and using a method of construction we
define as "pyramidal growth".
Most researchers define precisely a
set of rules for the pyramidal constructive method. The first principle : "to
make use of the surrounding stone and to stack it up into the centre"; the
operative algorithm : "to lay a block on two others in a corbelled way and this,
in an additive and recurrent manner"; the constructive system: "block by block,
side by side, by successive covers" defining in this way the "pyramidal growth".
As a consequence, this "pyramidal growth" is a necessary function of available
techniques and of the dimensional characteristics of the building materials.
Moreover, the building blocks and the general display of the exploitation sites
are a direct consequences of the natural geological features and of the failure
patterns commanded by tectonics. .
Interestingly, this constructive system can be modelled in order to investigate
its consequences. researchers found that it leads necessarily to
"pyramid-shaped" constructions without sophisticated conceptual plans. The shape
of the pyramids (its angle) is a direct function of the local display algorithm.
Moreover, the corollary of the method leads to a natural interpretation of the
devices found inside the Pyramid of Cheops. research shows that the internal
gallery system can be created by anticipation of the construction method of one
face of the pyramid, with an inclination angle matching the real one. Also the
Great Gallery can be interpreted in a purely utilitarian way, as an amazing
oblique lift, allowing to haul up the 52 monoliths made of granite of the King's
room, until 65 meters height.
