"'Old Kingdom technology precluded iron tools, wheeled heavy transport, and compound pulleys, but allowed copper chisels, water-lubricated sledges, ropes, levers, earthen works, and Nile barges.'"
"'Accordingly, we bound ramp slope, lane width/clearance, and friction, and evaluate the dispatch headway (time between placing successive blocks) required to satisfy the 20-27-year window, encoding these constraints as model parameters.'"
"'The model estimated that the pyramid itself could have been built in roughly 14 to 21 years.'"
"'Rosell Roig also found the ramp geometry aligned with unexplained internal spaces previously detected inside the pyramid, stating it is 'consistent with internal voids identified by muon imaging.'"
The Great Pyramid of Khufu's construction may have utilized a sophisticated hidden ramp system, proposed by Vicente Luis Rosell Roig. This Integrated Edge-Ramp model allowed for the steady upward movement of stone blocks without the need for massive external ramps. Advanced simulations indicated that blocks could be dispatched every four to six minutes, leading to a construction timeline of 14 to 21 years. Including additional factors, the total time could extend to 20 to 27 years, aligning with archaeological consensus. The ramp's geometry also corresponds with internal voids detected in the pyramid.
