- seferphier 13y agoI was wondering too. This video explains in more detail how they used pressure to move the water up http://youtu.be/C1y8N0ePuF8?t=15m20s http://youtu.be/C1y8N0ePuF8?t=15m20s
- fblp 13y agoArcheologists would be able to find evidence of these water piping from springs underneath the pyramid.
- Freestyler_3 13y agoI agree, they say that they should have found evidence of ramps... well they should have found evidence of this water structure if it was used.
- gus_massa 13y agoThe video says that they toke the water from springs under the pyramid. If the spring has enough pressure to make the water climb to 150 m, then just opening a vertical hole you must get a 150 m water jet. (Really, the water in the jet moves faster, so it has more internal frictions with the spring wall.) In Yellowstone, Old Faithfull has 50 m water jets, but it’s a geyser, not a cold spring with a lot of water.
- ye 13y agoThey had thousands of slaves.
- jonnybgood 13y agoThe pyramids were actually not built by slaves. There's quite a bit of evidence that would suggest this.
- dhughes 13y agoWere they slaves? I've often seen reference that they were citizens working on the pyramid as payment of taxes in the form of manual labour, add to that your boss and the building were being built for, who to them was, a God. I'd say whatever the most simple explanation is the answer I could see either rubble or ramps.
- kamaal 13y agoThey were slaves. Calling them something else doesn't make them less exploited.
