00:00While the theory that the ancient Egyptians employed ramps for stone transportation is not a new concept,
00:05researchers now suggest that laborers utilized wooden sleds attached to wooden columns,
00:10pulled by ropes, to move alabaster blocks for the construction of the pyramids.
00:15This method was especially crucial when navigating steep slopes with gradients exceeding 20%.
00:20Notably, the Great Pyramid of Giza, standing at a towering height of 146 meters,
00:26served as a burial site for pharaohs Cheops, Khafre, and Mycorrhinos.
00:31Archaeologists concur that a ramp system was indeed used to transport stone blocks to the pyramid,
00:36but the precise mechanics of this system remain an enigmatic puzzle to this day.
