Construction of the Great Pyramid

A detailed Summary of Construction of the Great Pyramid

Of the three theories on how the Great Pyramid was built, in descending order of acceptability, the most suitable theory is Clifford Wilson's followed by Joseph Davidovits' and Erich Von Daniken's argument. Clifford Wilson's theory is the best because he illustrates how the pyramids were built and provides the evidence to prove his theory, however; this is unlike Joseph Davidovits' theory because Davidovits does not fully answer questions that arise concerning his theory. The three theories have similar points, but contain very different ideas on the construction of the Great Pyramid. This is obvious in Clifford Wilson's argument where he is repeatedly disproving Von Daniken's theory that the "gods" created the pyramids, whereas in Davidovits theory the pyramids were simply casted by means of chemically mixing Natron, aluminum and silicon to produce artificial rock. These three individuals express different ideas on the building of the building of the Great Pyramid.

Clifford Wilson has the most acceptable theory compared to the other two individual's arguments. In Clifford Wilson's theory, he suggests that the pyramids were built with the "heave-ho" method. With the use of sleds made from wood that is easily imported from

Phoenicia and rope, it is an acceptable theory on how the Great Pyramid was built. Wilson has also seen workers, using a single rope and pulley, move stones as the supervisor chants out instructions. One question that arises is how the builders were able to lift the stones into place. Wilson explains that during the construction of the pyramid, a ramp made of earth could be increased as the height of the pyramid increased. Once outer limestone blocks are fitted into place the earth could simply be removed. Clifford Wilson clearly verifies his theory with specific details, which displays that his theory is the most logical and suitable explanation of the construction of the Great Pyramid.

Of the three theories, Clifford Wilson's theory remains the most acceptable because he illustrates how the pyramids were built and provides the evidence to prove his argument. Joseph Davidovits on the other hand, does not fully answer questions that arise concerning his theory. Von Daniken's theory contains incorrect and irrelevant data that makes his theory the worst when compared to the other two arguments. In conclusion, Clifford Wilson had many effective points that disproved many Davidovits' and Von Daniken's points.

Of the three theories, Erich Von Daniken has the most unreasonable argument, and this is demonstrated throughout his theory. Von Daniken does not indicate the positive aspects of his argument, but instead chooses to judge other individuals' theories and make his own opinions. There are many weaknesses in his theory and the majority of his facts are incorrect. Von Daniken states that Egypt had no prehistory and the pyramids were built by extra-terrestrials. This is entirely untrue and there are many facts to disprove this idea. If Egypt had
