How Were the Egyptian Pyramids Built? - Part 3
How the Pyramid Built Itself
John Romer is an Egyptologist from Surrey, England and is well known for his humorous style and from his many appearances on a number of TV series on Archaeology.
In 1979, Romer and his wife, Elizabeth Romer, an archaeologist and designer, founded The Theban Foundation, for the purpose of conserving and documenting the royal tombs of Thebes. This then led to the creation of the Theban Mapping Project.
Romer has developed his own fascinating and unique variation on a traditional theory on how the pyramids were constructed. He describes it in the following video documentary.
