Mystery of How the Pyramids were Built, Solved?



From the Canadians, of course, News - Ottawa - canada.com network:



"'Modern man's concept of how ancient man moved rock is balderdash,' he said, standing outside his Onondaga Crescent house in Nepean, surrounded by logs, rocks and rope. 'I've reduced moving rocks to the pyramid to a mom-and-pop operation.'



In order to move large rocks intelligently, he said, you have to use the weight of the rock. Friction must be eliminated and momentum, once it starts, has to be maintained.



Mr. Raina believes that the rectangular rocks were moved from the quarry to the site of the pyramid by fastening wooden planks to the four sides of the slabs (almost like the bottom of a rocking chair) and then pulling it along with a rope so it rolls.



He uses the wooden casing filled with concrete on his driveway to demonstrate."



"I've had a seven-year-old girl pull 535 pounds herself," he said.
