Le génie des pyramides
The building of egyptian pyramids still remains today an enigma. None of the present theories can satisfy scientists or practitioners of the art of building and offer any convincing evidence. Based on in situ observations, geological constrains and basics of the art of buildings, we suggest a global building system called “pyramidal growth” which confirms the writings of Herodotus and can be placed in a “technical continuum”. We focus in particular on the Kheops' pyramid, the most enigmatic one because of its internal design, but actually and paradoxically the most revealing of the pyramids' constructive system.
