>Ramps cannot explain the whole story, that much is clear. But they played a part. This is proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The Khufu quarry is full of ramp debris. You can see a ramp coming out of it. I even posted photos of it here. You never took notice.
Hi Manu,
Ref: photo
I did not want to interrupt your discussion with Cladking...
If you can easily find and show me that photo, it would be greatly appreciated. When I discuss the Pyramids, by default, it's Khafe's Pyramid. This causes confusion in some respects. Did they pull stones out of quarries beneath the Pyramid(s), up to their base? I agree yes they did. I went around and around with Cladking, saying it would be easier to pull a stone downhill, than uphill. We differed in time and length reaching the base, and in men required pulling stones up dirt ramps, vs. using greased tracks downhill onto a barge, and then pulling them uphill using the Causeways & water to perform the labor, and heavy lifting. Did they have strong backs with weak minds. Many believe so...
Can anyone show me where heavy stones have been pulled up a dirt path, longer than those, which were removed from a quarry? I have never seen it performed. I did see Nova attempt it a short distance, and they had all kinds of issues. Even a video of Dr. Mark LehnerĀ , attempting the same. It is by no means a simple procedure. Was it possible? Sure, though that would be only if they had no other means. They could have used just manpower and/or other tools and procedure unfamiliar to us.
There are to many stones used in those Pyramids, to only come from those quarries.
