Hermione:
You appear to miss the point.
If Lehner insists on these pyramids built using long extended ramps then it is pointless reading whatever he has to say. He is basically telling the world that he knows nothing of civil engineering and absolutely ignorant of basic construction techniques.
I repeat:
Ramps were never built to the apex of these tall structures...it doesn't work, it's the "most" (please understand the significance of the word "most") inefficient means of raising stones.
Do you understand that every stone set in place above the 1/3rd height requires the placing of more ramp stone than structure stone? And...it's worse as you venture higher with your building....plus...the ramp must be removed when the pyramid is finished.
Try a little mathematics this weekend and report back to me with your findings.
Here is the scenario:
You are building G1 and have reached the 100th course level...150 Rc above base level.
Base is 440Rc wide and the angle is a presumed 51.8+ degrees.
I need the following info from you to confirm your method employed.
1) You must choose the angle of the ramp.
2) You must set the width of the ramp at startup and at the 150Rc level.
3) You must select what material to use for the ramp.
4) You must also decide where this material is to be disposed.
The question is:
How much material is required to raise your ramp to the height of the next level compared to the amount of stone blocks set at that level?
When complete, I want you to visit this topic [

Now you may realize that the AE were intelligent individuals…not thoughtless haphazard “thumb-in –the-air” surveyors they are portrayed to be.
Best.
Clive
