I submit this for examination by the good people of this site. Frankly it leaves me going "Wha..." The man thinks he has figured out how the pyramids went up.

Truth or him making shit up?

it looks plausible, though i dont have the scientific knowldge to say whether or not it could be scaled up that much with the materials they had.

I always thought the pyramids blocks were baked pretty much in place. Anyway, I think the most suprising thing about his discovery is simply that, despite the lack of a wheel, it is still fairly fast.

Technically, it could be both. By which I mean, it can be a true and practical method, and not what the egyptians used.

Ugh. Someone get him a lesson on website building. My eyes can't take it. Someone give me a summary.

Using cleverly applied fulcrums, he's managing to move giant blocks with decent speed without use of wheels or rollers, and he posits that this is a viable method for the construction of the pyramids and other similar structures, since it would have been possible to make using ancient technologies.

There is a video, but it costs money to view. Apparently he was viewed by the discovery channel for this methodology, so it may appear on that at some point.
