That looks really promising, but as we know, the Egyptian authorities are not very keen to let archaeologies do just about anything with the pyramids. So this will probably take another 10-15 year before they get a permission.

Of all the suggestions, and theories put forward, on how the Cheops pyramid was built, this one seems pretty plausible.
Ingenious, and very calculated planning by the Egyptians, I say.
It makes sense - or what do you think?
"Jean-Pierre Houdin, a French architect, revealed his revolutionary new theory as to how the Great Pyramid in Egypt was built. Dassault Systemes, a team of computer engineers, spent 2 years testing his 'internal ramp' theory with scientific 3D simulations."

Another significant exploration relating to the Great Pyramid has been the decade-long excavation in the Wadi al-Jarf by Pierre Tallet and his team on the western shore of the Red Sea. Among other finds, Tallet discovered papyri from the time of Khufu (~2580-2550 BC) in which an inspector named Merer meticulously recorded many boat trips from the Tura limestone quarries to Giza. There, at a man-made harbor not far from where the Sphinx lies today, he and his crew unloaded pure white limestone blocks that were presumably used in the construction of the Great Pyramid's smooth outer casing.
A recent Channel 4 documentary focuses on the building of an authentic vessel used by the ancient Egyptians to ferry the limestone stone blocks from Tura to Giza. As well, it touches on other important aspects of the vast infrastructure needed to support the Pyramid's construction: Egypt's Great Pyramid: The New Evidence

But Zahi Hawass knows better. It's not a new discovery, because someone once wrote that there was a gap somewhere else in the Great Pyramid (and therefore by implication a gap in the place where they've now found one). However, Hawass will graciously allow the scientists to continue their work: http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/...iscov.aspx

Humanity is undergoing an ascension of consciousness, as outlined by the Mayans.
Who said, basically, “the old world would come to an end.” And many assumed it meant the end of the planet. Just like some see the word 'Apocalypse' as having a negative cogitation when in fact it does not.
The Maya are the remnants of an extraterrestrial civilization, most of which left Earth. It isn't the idea that ET visited the Mayan civilization, the Maya are actually the descendants of the ET that came and stayed and build many of those cities leaving some behind. The Maya that are educated in their own history know this.
Ask one.
Then ask them why their civilization was, essentially except for toys, wheel-less.
