The article I found is, "More Insight From Physics Into The Construction Of The Egyptian Pyramids," and it investigates three different methods, which are without ramps, straight ramps, or parallel ramps. ... The book I found is Building The Great Pyramid In A Year: An Engineer's Report, and it also concurs with the use of ramps; however, the book provides the physics associated with the efficiency or inefficiency of the ramps depending on their size. ... While the article and book that I found provide a more physics approach to the use of ramps, Art History merely mentions the...
