“yet No acceptable model In general, to build the pyramids,” the study noted, which stated that, Over time, scientists have become divided on the hypotheses put forward.
These researchers believe that a large area west of the pyramid served as a dam to hold sediment and water. The water then passed east, into a plain that may have been a lake, and from there it went into the dry moat that surrounds the pyramid. The pit chambers would have served as a water treatment facility, which was eventually used to raise the stones used in construction. Upon entering the vertical well, Water will allow a A pulley system raises and lowers the platform, where the stones will be placed..
“It has never been proven.”
Despite the enthusiasm of French researchers for the study, there is still no consensus regarding the construction of the pyramids. The proposed theory is not convincing to many other scientists..
This is the case Judith Bunbury, Researcher at the University of Cambridge.Warning that, Although the Egyptians used another type of hydraulic technology at that time, (for irrigation systems or for transporting materials, for example), There is no evidence that they built water-powered lifting systems..
“It is surprising that when so many other details about technology and daily life are recorded in tombs and in texts, this type of device is omitted, if it is used at all.”He said, Speaking to Ars Technica.
Same thinking Julia Budka, archaeologist at Luis Maximiliano University of Munich.
He pointed out that “scientifically, the hypothesis has not been proven at all.”
