A possible construction model for the major pyramids 

 

As is well known, we do not know, and probably we will never know with certainty, the construction methods of the Egyptian pyramids as participating in the creation of these symbolic emblems of that society constituted an almost mystical event that was not to be disclosed. This work is a rigorously scientific analysis of the possible construction methods of the major pyramids based exclusively on the materials, methods and technical and design knowledge in their possession that emerged from countless testimonies, including indirect ones. After having rigorously analyzed the hypotheses currently most widespread among reserchers, we put ourselves in the shoes of an ancient architect committed to constructing such a building, having only what was surely ascertained. The result was a hypothesis, also approved by most Egyptologists, which does not want to prove that it was the one used, but only that it is completely compatible with that reality.
