After over 50 years of research, Indian-American Dr. Rajan Hooda from the University of Chicago has unraveled the long-standing mystery behind the construction of Egypt’s pyramids. His groundbreaking paper, “The Conjoint Solution and The Shrinking Dual L Notch Ramps,” introduces a novel concept that sheds light on this ancient engineering marvel.
Hooda dismisses conventional theories, such as exterior ramps larger than the pyramid or intricate internal tunnel systems, as impractical. Instead, he proposes the “L Notch Ramp,” a series of dual-purpose ramps integrated within each layer of stones, resembling notches. Each layer, constructed like a 210-layer cake, featured ascending ramps for transporting stones and smaller descending ramps for laborers.
This ingenious system left no physical evidence, contributing to the puzzle’s endurance. The ramps, built progressively, were systematically removed from the top down after construction, leaving the structure intact. Hooda emphasizes that the smaller stones at the pyramid’s upper levels were a design necessity caused by narrowing ramps—a compromise other theories cannot explain.
Hooda’s method offers unmatched efficiency, requiring no external constructions and relying only on simple ramp technology. The theory’s brilliance lies in its simplicity and logistical elegance: two ramps ensured seamless stone transportation while maintaining methodological invisibility.
The British Museum’s Dr. Daniel Antoine praised Hooda’s research, calling it compelling and logical. The theory’s credibility is further bolstered by eight interconnected components, including forced design compromises, efficient stone transport, and shrinking ramps—all aligning perfectly to decode the mystery. Hooda’s labor of love, ignited in childhood, now stands as a testament to persistence and ingenuity, solving a riddle that has fascinated humanity for 4,500 years.
