How Ancient Egyptians Built the Pyramids? Researcher Rajan Hooda Unveils

New Delhi, November 22: Rajan Hooda, an Indian-American researcher and PhD from the University of Chicago, has unveiled a groundbreaking theory that deciphers the ancient mystery of how Egypt’s Great Pyramids were constructed. After more than 50 years of dedicated research, Hooda’s paper introduces the Theory of The Conjoint Solution and The Shrinking Dual L Notch Ramps, a revolutionary explanation for the engineering feat behind the pyramids.

A New Theory for an Ancient Wonder

Hooda’s research challenges traditional hypotheses, such as the use of massive exterior ramps or complex internal tunnels, by proposing the innovative L Notch Ramp method. He theorizes that the pyramids were constructed in layers like a "layer cake," utilizing small, integrated ramps carved within the pyramid’s structure.

“When the lowest layer was completed, a corner was left incomplete to create a small ramp, allowing stones to be transported to the next level. This process was repeated 209 times until the pyramid was completed,” Hooda explains. After construction, the ramps were removed in reverse, leaving no evidence of their existence, which he believes explains why the mystery remained unsolved for millennia.

Key Features of the L Notch Ramp

Hooda's method incorporates dual ramps—one for transporting stones upward and a smaller one for workers descending. He calls this approach both efficient and invisible, as the ramps were seamlessly integrated into the pyramid’s design.

One critical aspect of the theory is the Shrinking L Notch Ramps, which necessitated smaller stones at the upper levels of the pyramid. Hooda identifies this as a "forced design compromise" unique to this method, offering irrefutable evidence of its use.

“This significant design adjustment is imprinted in the pyramid itself, proving the method’s necessity. No other construction hypothesis explains this compromise,” he said.

Global Recognition

Hooda’s research has garnered praise from experts worldwide. Dr. Daniel Antoine, Head of the Department of Egypt and Sudan at the British Museum, called the paper “very interesting,” adding that the theory provides a plausible explanation for one of history’s greatest mysteries.

Solving the 4,500-Year-Old Puzzle

Hooda credits his lifelong fascination with archaeology and history for driving his work. “This was a labor of love spanning five decades. Solving this immense three-dimensional puzzle has been my greatest achievement,” he said.

Key Insights from Hooda’s Theory

1. Efficient Design: No external structures or large-scale constructions required.
2. Innovative Ramps: Dual L Notch Ramps combine internal and external functionalities.
3. Logistical Genius: Streamlined transport with one-way ramps for stones and labor.
4. Invisible Methodology: Ramp removal left no visible evidence of the construction technique.
5. Design Compromise: Smaller stones at the top were essential for the method to succeed.
