For centuries the Great Pyramid of Giza has captivated and mystified people from around the world. Who built it? And how did they do it? Pyramid Rising offers an astonishing new theory that answers many of these questions—and much more. What if the Great Pyramid were built from the inside out? Could the  air shafts actually be the remnants of four internal ramps, which aided in the construction of this monument? Might the ancient symbol of the djed,  called the “backbone of Osiris,” also represent a grooved wooden roller for a pulley seated on its stand? These are only a few of the surprising new ideas explored in Pyramid Rising, which threaten to upend the prevailing theories about the origins of the Great Pyramid as defined by mainstream archeology.

 

The new theory  evolved from one man’s attempt to crawl inside the heads of the original pyramid builders to better understand their train of thought by looking through the lens of what is visible inside the pyramid today. It presents evidence that the Egyptians erected the Great Pyramid layer by layer by employing a simple tool—the pulley—and making use of the elements they had already put in place as the springboards for building higher.

 

More than 100 photographs and illustrations illuminate the text as step by step it takes us through the entire construction process from the Subterranean Chamber to the summit, shedding  fresh light on an age-old mystery about one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
