This feasibility study evaluates a hydraulic system for lifting stones in pyramid construction, suggesting innovative engineering solutions.
This paper investigates the hypothesis that the Great Pyramid of Giza was constructed using a hydraulic lifting system. Based on archaeological findings such as internal voids, mineral deposits, and material residues, a theoretical engineering model is developed. Using principles of hydrostatics and classical mechanics, the feasibility of lifting multi-ton stone blocks via water-driven systems is evaluated.
