Rajan Hooda, affiliated with the University of Chicago, has introduced a pioneering theory regarding the construction of the ancient Egyptian pyramids, shedding light on one of history’s most enduring enigmas. The pyramids, renowned for their immense scale and complex architecture, have captivated the attention of historians and engineers for generations. The mystery surrounding their construction has persisted for centuries, but after more than five decades of dedicated research, Hooda asserts that he has deciphered the method behind their creation.
In his recently published research paper, titled The Theory of The Conjoint Solution and The Shrinking Dual L Notch Ramps, Hooda outlines a transformative construction technique that provides remarkable insights into the building process of the pyramids. He suggests that the pyramids were constructed in layers, akin to a “layer cake,” utilizing an innovative ramp system he refers to as the “L Notch Ramp.” Hooda contends that this system was crucial to the construction process and offers compelling evidence supporting this engineering achievement. Reflecting on his childhood fascination with the mystery of the pyramids, Hooda describes his research as a “labour of love and persistence,” culminating in a theory that challenges existing notions about pyramid construction, which he deems structurally flawed. His approach posits that the pyramids were built with 210 layers of stones, with each layer being added incrementally, leaving small sections unfinished at each stage to create a sloped ramp that enabled the transportation of stones to elevated levels.
He describes that with the completion of each layer, the ramp would be lengthened to access the subsequent level. This procedure was carried out 209 times until the pyramid achieved its maximum height. Upon the conclusion of the construction, the ramps were dismantled from the apex, and the final stones were positioned, starting from the topmost level and proceeding downward. According to Hooda, as reported by NDTV, the absence of any remnants from these ramps has significantly contributed to the enduring enigma surrounding the construction of the pyramids, a mystery that has lasted for thousands of years.Hooda further discusses the concept of the “Dual L Notch Ramps,” indicating that one ramp was designated for elevating stones, while a narrower ramp facilitated the descent of workers after they had delivered materials. He contends that this approach addresses the longstanding questions regarding ramp logistics and provides a credible explanation for how the ancient Egyptians constructed their renowned pyramids.Hooda asserts that the L Notch Ramp system not only renders construction practical but also clarifies the absence of any physical traces of these ramps. He posits that the ramps’ removal following the completion of construction is a key reason why the process of pyramid building has remained one of the most profound mysteries in human history.
