Today on Far Future Horizons we join renowned Egyptologist Bob
Brier in following the story of how one man's decade long obsession produced a
compelling new theory on how the Great Pyramid was built.
When ancient
architects completed construction on the Great Pyramid at Giza, they left
behind the greatest riddle of the engineering world how did builders lift
limestone blocks weighing an average of two and a half tons, 480 feet up onto
the top of the pyramid? For centuries, adventurers and Egyptologists have
crawled through every passageway and chamber of the Great Pyramid, measuring
and collecting data in an attempt to determine how it was built.
For the first
time, a revolutionary theory argues that the answer may be inside the pyramid.
Architect Jean-Pierre Houdin has devoted his life to solving this mystery by
creating incredibly accurate blueprints of the Great Pyramid, using
cutting-edge 3-D software. Unlocking the Great Pyramid follows Houdin and renowned
Egyptologist Bob Brier in Giza
as they put Houdin’s theory to the test.
