I was hoping that Cladking would have presented, at some point, at least a simple schematic of his counterweight-stone-hauling idea. But, unfortunately, nary a one has appeared…

I never quite understood his descriptions of how counterweights were supposed to work in the construction of the GP. The logistics of using a counterweight system to haul multi-ton stones for the construction of a pyramidal structure appeared to be much more complex to set up, operate and maintain than a ramp structure, but then I'm not an engineer. But I do give him credit for making an attempt at providing an alternative method to ramps.

At least the counterweight idea made more sense, after a fashion, when compared with the later wind-sail or geyser theories, which, need I say more? The discussion posts relating to these theories of GP construction have to be read to experience their full, flabbergasting effect.
