<HTML>Let's be very clear here...
"we found a big part of the ramp used to transport the stones from the quarry to the pyramid base"
That is all that was found. The ramp is nowhere near long enough to have sufficed as the construction method... it ends at the quarry.
Let's also not forget what Dr. Hawass says about the spiral ramps:
"The first problem with this theory is that the unfinished faces of the pyramid could not support the ramps which these theorists believe were made of mud-brick or debris.
Also a spiraling ramp increases the distance over which the blocks had to be hauled and creates unnecessary strain for the team pulling each multi-ton block. It also increases the difficulty of pulling the blocks with extended ropes around the sharp comers of the pyramid's diagonals."
Ergo, the ramp that was discovered was for bringing the 2.5-ton blocks FROM the quarry TO the pyramid... not for raising them into position on the pyramid itself.
I believe this is a discussion of construction, not transportation.
