How was the Great Pyramid Built?
From the inside out using flood constructon?
Cutaway view of Pyramid using flood construction. Even a 60 ton mega stone
can be easily lifted and put into place using this construction technique.
Theories abound and mine is just one more for the pot. However I strongly suspect the Great Pyramid was built by floating the stones to the levels they are at.

We already know the Egytians floated huge stones down the Nile River to transport them.  Ah.. thus the Egytians knew they could float even the largest stones to any level they wanted if they could just fill the project with water. We know they had aquaducts and knew how to control water. They may have even floated the stones right up to the construction site via temporary aquaducts.

Huge shafts inside the pyramid dead end mysteriously. I suspect they are the remains water shafts. They were closed as construction continued upward. They likely had a huge amount of human and animal labor needed to flood the interior of the pyramid and thus wanted to reduce the amount of spaced that had to be filled.

Once flooded the floating stone would be very easy to manuver and put into place.

Even just a handful of men could place a 5 ton floating stone with ease. Simple move into position and lower the water.

The Egytians likely would have planned far ahead for each level. Many stones would be placed at the bottom and gang floated all at the same time. Place each stone placed into position and water drained for the next batch. Thus this process would be extremely efficient. They would be limited only by the time it would take to produce and transport the stones to the project.

This means even us modern less technical people could easily build a Pyramid.

Note: The cutaway sketch above is merely there to show the pricple not exactly the steps that were used in the process.
