CHICAGO, IL – Rajan Hooda, at the University of Chicago, has unveiled a groundbreaking theory on how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids, providing new insights into one of history’s greatest unsolved mysteries. The Egyptian pyramids, iconic for their colossal size and intricate design, have long intrigued historians and engineers alike. For centuries, the question of how these monumental structures were constructed has remained elusive. Now, after over 50 years of research, Hooda claims to have cracked the code.
In his newly published research paper, titled The Theory of The Conjoint Solution and The Shrinking Dual L Notch Ramps, Hooda proposes a revolutionary construction methodology that offers unprecedented clarity on how the pyramids were built. According to Hooda, the process involved constructing the pyramids in layers, similar to a “layer cake,” using a novel ramp system he calls the “L Notch Ramp.” This system, he asserts, was integral to the pyramid’s construction and provides irrefutable evidence for this engineering feat.
Hooda recalls being captivated by the pyramid mystery as a child, describing his work as a “labour of love and persistence” that took him more than five decades to complete. He notes that the existing theories about pyramid construction, such as the use of exterior ramps larger than the pyramid or interior tunnel ramps, are structurally untenable. Hooda’s theory proposes that the pyramids were built with 210 layers of stones. Each layer was constructed incrementally, with small sections left incomplete at each stage to create a rising ramp that facilitated the transport of stones to higher levels.
He explains that as each layer was completed, the ramp would be extended to reach the next level. This process was repeated 209 times until the pyramid reached its full height. Once construction was finished, the ramps were removed from the top, and the final stones were placed, beginning with the highest level and working downward. Hooda, NDTV reported, believes that the removal of these ramps, which left no evidence behind, has contributed to the mystery of pyramid construction that has persisted for millennia.
Hooda further elaborates on the “Dual L Notch Ramps,” explaining that one ramp was used for raising stones, while a smaller ramp allowed workers to descend after delivering materials. This method, he asserts, resolves the long-standing puzzle of ramp logistics and offers a plausible solution to how the ancient Egyptians built their iconic pyramids.
Hooda, NDTV reported, said the L Notch Ramp system not only makes construction feasible but also explains why no physical evidence of these ramps remains. The disappearance of the ramps after construction was completed, Hooda believes, is why the pyramid-building process has remained one of the greatest mysteries in human history.
