USA (Commonwealth Union)_ The Egyptian pyramids, towering monuments of ancient engineering, have captivated historians and archaeologists for centuries. Despite their awe-inspiring scale and intricate design, the methods behind their construction have remained one of history’s greatest unsolved mysteries. However, Rajan Hooda, an Indian-American researcher from the University of Chicago, asserts that he has deciphered the secrets behind the construction of these monumental structures. After over five decades of research, Hooda’s groundbreaking theory offers new insight into how the ancient Egyptians built these architectural marvels.

In his latest research paper, Hooda presents the ‘Theory of The Conjoint Solution and The Shrinking Dual L-Notch Ramps,’ a revolutionary concept that proposes a completely new method for building the pyramids. Hooda describes his 20-page research as presenting “irrefutable evidence” to support his claims about the Egyptian construction techniques. Furthermore, Hooda’s interest in the pyramids began in his youth, when, at the age of eight, he first encountered the mystery of their construction. According to him, it was one of the biggest puzzles in the history of mankind, unsolved for over 4500 years. Hooda’s journey into understanding the methods behind the pyramids has been a long and persistent one, with the researcher dedicating over 50 years to studying the problem. The culmination of his work was like solving a “three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle.”

Hooda argues that many of the existing theories regarding pyramid construction are structurally flawed. Some proposed solutions, such as large external ramps or intricate internal tunnel systems, are not feasible for the scale of the project. In contrast, Hooda introduces the concept of the ‘L-Notch Ramp,’ a more efficient and practical solution. According to his revolutionary theory, the pyramid was built in layers, much like a “layer cake,” with 210 distinct levels of stones.

Hooda’s L-Notch Ramp theory is based on a system where each layer of the pyramid had a small notch cut into its footprint. After completing the lowest layer, workers left a portion of it incomplete in one corner to create a ramp. This ramp, which extended slightly higher with each new layer, allowed workers to transport stones to the next level. The process repeated itself as construction progressed, incorporating a portion of the ramp into each new layer and moving stones progressively higher. Hooda explains that they eventually removed the ramp, working downward from the top of the pyramid to complete the structure in reverse.
The key to this revolutionary theory lies in the use of what Hooda terms the “Dual L-Notch Ramps.” One ramp would transport stones upward, while a smaller, parallel ramp would allow workers to descend once they had delivered their load. This dual-ramp system solved the logistical challenge of moving heavy stones to high heights and made the entire construction process more efficient. According to Hooda, the absence of visible remnants of the ramps after the construction was complete is why the methods remained a mystery for so long. The removal of the ramps left no trace to shed light on the building process, thereby perpetuating the mystery for millennia.
Hooda’s research promises to provide answers to some of the most enduring questions about the construction of the Egyptian pyramids. His findings shed light on the remarkable precision and engineering skill of the ancient Egyptians, revealing how they built these monumental structures with extraordinary efficiency. Additionally, the implications of this theory could reshape our understanding of ancient Egyptian architecture and the methods that allowed such an advanced civilization to build one of the most iconic and enduring structures in human history.
