Pyramid secret

Architect claims to solve pyramid secret (AP)

In this 3D computer image released by French company Dassault Systemes on Friday, March 30, 2007, the theory of French architect Jean-Pierre Houdin of an internal ramp built for the construction of the Great Pyramid is seen. During a 3D screening followed by a press conference at the Paris Geode cinema on Friday, Houdin exposed his revolutionary theory of the construction of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, arguing it was built from the inside. Houdin presented the hypothesis of an internal ramp and the use of a counterweight system. Houdin used 3D technology to have his theory confirmed. (AP Photo/Dassault Systemes/HO)AP - A French architect claimed Friday to have uncovered the mystery about how Egypt's Great Pyramid of Khufu was built — with use of a spiral ramp to hoist huge stone blocks into place.
