Your calling all the evidence like visible horizontal and vertical lines has no effect on the reality. Stones were still obviously pulled up on the south side of the top of G1 and laid starting on the opposite side and laid east to west. You can use a different word than "obviously" but it doesn't change the fact that many things about how the pyramids were built are clearly visible, easily deducible, or well evidenced.

It just astounds me that most people won't even accept that stones were apparently delivered to the valley ports and then moved up the "causeways". That these exist might be how the notion that ramps mustta been used even arose. Yet most people won't accept such mundane things on a sacred walkway.

Everything detectable is evidence and no evidence of how these were built is more important than the fact there is an underlying step pyramid. This has been solved. The question isn't how the stones got from the quarry to the top or from Turah to the top, the question is how did they pull stones up the side. Ramps are debunked by the physical evidence and logic. There was never a good reason to presuppose that ramps had been used.

Perhaps an even better question is how this could have been forgotten. Why did the world have to wait for Charles Rigano (Charlie R) to rediscover this? Why was it not recognized immediately that he was right? Why was such a thing never even proposed before?

The evidence is conclusive but instead people don't want to believe. Why is Egyptology so wedded to ramps they won't even release the infrared data that clearly show that stones were pulled up? Houdin (Guminda) had an ingenious idea that simply didn't work. Ramps are dead. Long live ramps.



I'm not even trying to get the voluminous evidence in a single post and it has almost all been cited before anyway. The only thing that could restore ramps as a viable theory is evidence and there is no evidence and never really was. The existence of inclined planes simply do not prove men dragged stones using the mechanical advantage. You must remember that mechanical advantage increases total work by definition and something so inefficient as ramps in a desert are most highly unproductive.

I believe all of the infrastructure needed to build these is clearly in evidence but it is referred to not as infrastructure but as "sacred". We see "sacred" when we look at all of the artefacts instead of the tools and things needed for a culture to thrive in a world without modern science.

Now everything in this post will be ignored and called "opinion" rather than the facts and obvious deductions that they really are.
