Hussey, R. Scott. Construction of the Top of the Egyptian Pyramids: An Experimental Test of a Levering Device .

Presentation given to the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) in Memphis 2012.

Abstract: Research designed to investigate Egyptian Pyramid construction techniques lack experimental tests to

demonstrate whether a levering device, composed of appropriate materials and technology, can lift a block in the

limited space available at the top of the superstructure. This study examines various levering methods and

presents an experimental device composed of appropriate materials designed with technologies available to the

ancient Egyptian pyramid builders. The levering device successfully lifted over 5560 pounds and raised a 2530 -

pound block up one tier of blocks in less than one minute.
