However, in recent years a French architect advanced the so-called spiral tunnel theory, which has garnered considerable attention worldwide.Īccording to this explanation, a slope was built to about one third the height of the pyramid, and then a series of spiral shaped tunnels running just inside the outer walls was used for further transporting the stones. Because such a slope would have to be extremely long, doubts were cast on this theory, but no better alternative explanation existed for a long time. The most well known of these is the straight ramp theory, whereby a long slope was supposed to have been built, for dragging up the stone blocks using rope. Built in an age where no heavy construction machinery existed, many theories have been proposed as to how the pyramid was erected with human power alone. In particular, the Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu) stands out as the most monumental stone building on earth, with a height of 147 meters and consisting of some 3 million limestone blocks averaging 2.5 tons in weight. The pyramids in Egypt are one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. ![]() "Internal spiral shaped tunnel" theory may shed light on the mystery of how the pyramids were built
