[Aztlan] Architect claims to solve pyramid secret

[Ivan Van Laningham]

Hi All--
Many new-agers compare the Old World to the New World pyramids.
Here's a theory on how the Egyptian pyramids were built.  How does
this compare to say, Palenque?

Metta,

"Architect claims to solve pyramid secret"

"A French architect claimed Friday to have uncovered the mystery about how
Egypt's Great Pyramid of Khufu was built ‹ with use of a spiral ramp to
hoist huge stone blocks into place.

The construction of the Great Pyramid 4,500 years ago by Khufu, a ruler also
known as Cheops, has long befuddled scientists as to how its 3 million stone
blocks weighing 2.5 tons each were lifted into place.

Ending eight years of study on the subject, architect Jean-Pierre Houdin
released his findings and a computerized 3-D mockup showing how workers
would have erected the pyramid at Giza outside Cairo."
