(MENAFN- GetNews) For centuries, historians, engineers, and curious minds alike have debated one of the world's greatest mysteries: How were the Egyptian pyramids built? While theories of ramps, alien technology, or lost advanced machinery have dominated discussions, one author believes he has finally found a practical, physics-based explanation that makes sense.

In his new book, James unveils a theory developed over more than a decade of research, trial-and-error modeling, and a lifetime of experience in heavy construction. Drawing on his background as a journeyman Boilermaker with 27 years of rigging, steel construction, and project management, James introduces a method that is not only plausible but efficient - requiring just 0.1 percent of the energy compared to traditional ramp theories.

“My 5th-grade teacher once told us that no one knew for certain how the pyramids were built,” James recalls.“Even as an 11-year-old, I knew the ramp theory didn't make sense. Years later, with real-world construction experience under my belt, I realized I finally had the tools to figure it out.”

His process, grounded in simple physics, mechanical reasoning, and teamwork, shows how skilled laborers could have placed a stone on top of the pyramid every two to three minutes - keeping pace with the productivity of ancient stonecutters. Unlike other theories, James's model avoids impractical labor demands, massive ramps, or speculative technology.

The book offers readers not only an innovative explanation but also an inspiring journey of curiosity, persistence, and the merging of childhood wonder with professional expertise. It also connects current findings at Djoser's pyramid to the earliest forms of pyramid construction, effectively linking the 'dots' that lead to the premiere pyramid-building methods of ancient Egypt.

About the Author

James was born and raised in Northwest Indiana. A natural problem-solver with strong mechanical reasoning skills, he went on to build a career as a journeyman Boilermaker. With decades of hands-on experience in rigging, construction, and heavy steel work, he brings a unique perspective to one of history's most enduring mysteries. His theory on pyramid construction is the result of 12 years of dedicated study, model testing, and applied knowledge.
