The knowledge surrounding the pyramids continues to grow, revealing new stones yet to be turned.
A Daily Mail report noted that a breakthrough may have been made in understanding how the pyramids were built and formed.
According to the report, a new study on the Pyramid of Khufu was likely made by “using a hidden spiral ramp running inside the structure.”
Vicente Luis Rosell Roig, a computer scientist, finds it plausible that those who worked on this structure utilized an “edge ramp,” which would slope from the edges of the pyramid and was filled in with each additional layer made.

This, it is believed, would have annulled the need for any external ramps, allowing the workers to move the stones upward at a steady pace. Current simulation models estimate these stones were placed “every four to six minutes,” making this pyramid take between 14 and 21 years to complete, and when transportation and other factors are included, it would take between 20 and 27 years to finish.
Even as new discoveries attempt to explain the engineering brilliance behind the Great Pyramid of Giza, the sense of wonder surrounding it only deepens. Each new theory answers one question while opening the door to countless others.
In a world that often prides itself on having all the answers, the pyramids quietly challenge that assumption, reminding us that there are still wonders yet to be uncovered.
