Scientists are fascinated by the construction work, especially the pyramid of Cheops, one of the wonders of the world. It would have been technically impossible to achieve this structure. Researchers at the University of Liverpool have finally clarified the situation

In an old quarry, clues were found for an inventive slope technique involving wooden poles. A team of workers could have raised the stones from 25 to 80 tons in this way, 4500 years ago, well before the advanced techniques.

Previously, we suspected the use of possible slopes, but we often talked about it. a slope of about ten percent. According to the University

Pulley system

slopes were discovered on both sides of the slope, suggesting that thick slopes were installed, according to the university. researcher Roland Enmarch. Ropes would have been stretched with pulleys around these posts.

"This arrangement allows people to stand up and work in the same direction," Enmarch told The Times.

Coincidence "stupid"

The fact that the slope was found by chance makes the discovery even more attractive to the imagination: the researchers were actually looking for inscriptions on the wall, of ancient signs. "We were working on it, we removed stones," says co-investigator Yannis Gourdon. "And then we found the slope."
