Floating Stones
Great Pyramid Built with Water Power
No Ramps, No Slaves, No Aliens
CAUSEWAY LOCK DELIVERY SYSTEM
Schematic view of the water flow from the underground artesian aquifer to the font pond, to the enclosure pond, then to the Mortuary Temple (Lock #1), then down each lock level to the Valley Temple (Lock #7) and the Nile at its lowest level.
THE THREE LIFTING MECHANISMS
Overhead view of Pyramid construction at the Queen’s Chamber level showing barges on the Nile entering Lock #7 (top left), then up the Causeway to Lock #1 and the moat-like Enclosure Pond. The Font Pond is shown with the barges sequestered at the working level, supplying water to the four Water Stairs, one at each corner of the Pyramid above the seventh course.
LOCK #7 (Valley Temple)
Artist rendering of Lock #7 and barges with stones entering the Causeway to deliver all stones to the Pyramid construction site.
VALLEY TEMPLE (Lock #7)
Artist rendering of the Valley Temple which was repurposed from the Lock #7 after the Pyramid construction was complete.
Summary of the Theory
First, the Causeway 7-lock system delivered all the stones on barges from the Nile River up to the moat-like “Enclosure Pond” surrounding the pyramid.
Second, a holding pond we call the “Font Pond” which sequestered the large monoliths on their barges, and was raised with each construction level.
Third, “water stairs” to raise the smaller stones up each of the four corner edges of the pyramid above the seventh course.
Sam Sampson
As the grandson of a Finnish carpenter and an enthusiastic model builder, Mr. Sampson obtained a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Oregon in 1970. In 1966-67, during his junior year in college, he studied abroad in Vienna, Austria, concentrating on Architectural History while touring many world-famous museums, landmarks, and prominent architecture throughout Europe.
Mr. Sampson has been practicing architecture professionally since 1974 and is licensed in Oregon and Washington. He has extensive experience managing architectural design teams for large-scale government and private-sector building projects. In 2000, Samuel initiated a hobby by beginning his independent study of a long-standing architectural interest in Ancient Egypt and the Great Pyramid.
Mr. Sampson’s firm, Architectural Investigative Reports & Opinions (AIRO-LLC), provides traditional and specialty architectural services, including constructability analyses and comprehensive evaluation and analysis of the condition of existing buildings, site work, and infrastructure.
Michael N. Read
In 1956, he attended the Royal Aircraft Establishment Technical College, now known as Farnborough College of Technology. He graduated in 1961, attended two more years part-time, and was accepted as a Graduate of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in 1963.
From 1961 to 1963, he worked at several aerospace companies in Bracknell, Berkshire, and was involved with missile guidance systems. In 1966, The Boeing Company recruited him and he moved to Seattle, Washington, where he worked on avionics systems for the 747 airplane. He recently retired as a General Certified Real Estate Appraiser licensed in Washington and Oregon and moved to Salem, Oregon, in 2007, where he currently resides.
