Egyptian pyramids, as well as pyramids around the world, are incredible buildings. They are precise, and they sit in areas of the world that seem sacred to generations of Egyptians. The pyramids, according to scientists, are in alignment with the energy that emanates from the sun, moon, and star constellations. But there seems to be a level of competence difference between the focused thinking that went into building and using the pyramids, and the people who actually hauled the giant stones from quarries. That competence difference is a social class difference that continues to be the foundation for the social structure of Egypt.
The pyramid builders, the people who actually did the dirty work, may have been from a different social class from the Egyptians who built the pyramids in the first place. But they were master giant stone movers who could build the Pyramid of Giza and other pyramids in record-breaking time. But time to these Egyptians workers didn’t measure time in minutes or hours. Time was inches and feet to them. The project was a backbreaker but they found a way to get the job done.
But the Egyptian stone rollers actually protected their backs, according to an Anglo-French team of scientists. The team discovered a ramp with stairways and what looked like postholes. The scientists think the workers developed a pulley system using the ramp, posts, and the staircase to move the stones faster. Scientist knew the workers used ramps to move the stones, but the postholes and the steps were new discoveries, according to an article in the Guardian.
That system gave workers the ability to move the stones with more force. And that meant they built the pyramids faster than history says they did. The pyramids date back more than 5,000 years according to some scientific studies. Plus, the inscriptions in the quarry where the steps and the postholes confirm the pyramids date back to the reign of King Khufu. He’s the King who built the Great Pyramid.
The next question scientists are asking is did the workers in Mexico, and the workers in Central American, Easter Island, and Asia use the same stone moving system? Obviously, using the ramp system was part of stone moving everywhere> But using steps and posts to develop a pulley system to move giant stones 5,000 years ago is still a question mark in the scientific community.
