Illustrations and photographs clarify the stages of how the Pyramids of Egypt were built with Chris Massey’s water shaft theory.
The YouTube comments are lively and colorful. Here’s what one interesting skeptic had to say.
“Woooowww, really? If you think the Egyptians made the pyramids, you should slap yourself….twice! Even if they used sleds, or water, or whatever the hell people are talking about nowadays…..how did they line it up with magnetic north? uhhhhh uhhhhh. Yeah..I thought so. How did they line it up EXACTLY with orion’s belt? How did they make it eight sided? and I say this without watching the video. Most people don’t even know that it is a eight sided pyramid, which is 1000X harder to build than the regular pyramid that everyone thinks this is. How does it line up with the shadows of the equinox? Come on guys, don’t be such an idiot. open your eyes and watch some video of people who have actually been inside of it. There are laser cut 20-200 ton blocks…LASER CUT PRECISION…even engineers today say that it would be impossible without highly advanced technology.”

Geopolymer theory by Davidovitz (At least partially confirmed by MIT tests)

Here’s another very unusual theory about the purpose of the pyramids. This guy is trying to re-engineer the pyramids to figure out it’s true purpose.

It’s very hard to follow what he’s saying. The sound quality is not good and my speakers are low quality. I’m headed to his website now for some written explanation.
Update: The only written documentation that I could find is in this slideshow:

Mix and match. Use geopolymers to make the facing stones, then flood the interior. You can use that to float however many stones you need, move sealed bags of your mix, whatever. Admittedly, I find the Egyptological/religious part of Davidovits’ argument really funny (the gods made men from eternal stone that they worked like clay, so therefore, concrete is sacred.)
New pyramid articles, books and videos usually raise more questions than answers. What really happened may encompass multiple theories. I suspect the outer stones were made of geopolymer as Davidovitz proposes. There’s scientific proof of that in stone sample analysis. The rough inner stones were probably made by hand and raised with an internal ramp according to Houdin. A team of engineers studied every aspect of this and found no flaws in the theory. Pieces of other theories may have some validity. For instance, maybe they used water to level the first layer of stones and to help size the stones. Using canals to transport the stones also seems likely. But building waterproof towers to float the stones to the top doesn’t seem as plausible as the internal ramp theory.
