The question of just how an ancient civilization—without the help of modern technology—moved the 2.5 ton stones that made up their famed pyramids has long plagued Egyptologists and mechanical engineers alike. But now, a team from the University of Amsterdam believes they've figured it out, even though the solution was staring them in the face all along.
To make their discovery, the researchers picked up on clues from the ancient Egyptians themselves. A wall painting discovered in the ancient tomb of Djehutihotep, which dates back to about 1900 B.C., depicts 172 men hauling an immense statue using ropes attached to a sledge.
In the drawing, a person can be seen standing on the front of the sledge, pouring water over the sand, said study lead author Daniel Bonn, a physics professor at the University of Amsterdam.
According to livescience, a UvA press release explains:
The physicists placed a laboratory version of the Egyptian sledge in a tray of sand. They determined both the required pulling force and the stiffness of the sand as a function of the quantity of water in the sand.
To determine the stiffness they used a rheometer, which shows how much force is needed to deform a certain volume of sand. Experiments revealed that the required pulling force decreased proportional to the stiffness of the sand...A sledge glides far more easily over firm desert sand simply because the sand does not pile up in front of the sledge as it does in the case of dry sand.
The ancient Egyptians, who ‘Maybe’ built the pyramids may have been able to move massive stone blocks or statues across the desert by wetting the sand in front of a contraption built to pull the heavy objects but the new study does not answer the question how they brought the heavy blocks to the top of the pyramid yet what kind of tools and cutting techniques they used in the construction of the stone blocks/pyramids.
According to other studies, it may be possible that actually an ancient extraterrestrial civilization with understanding of physics and mechanics built the pyramids using ancient machines and other techniques such as sound waves and vibrations, like an anti-gravity technique to lift and transport the heavy stone blocks.
It is no coincidence that all ancient sites are built on the Earth Grid energies lines.
