Archaeology magazine has an interesting online feature this month from that entertaining Egyptologist Bob Brier, describing in detail the various theories that people have suggested the Great Pyramid at Giza was built.
The piece illustrates several theories, including the latest put forward by Jean-Pierre Houdin, that ramps moving the enormous granite and limestone blocks were actually built in a corkscrew pattern on top of the blocks as they were being amassed.
