Indian-American researcher proposes groundbreaking theory on Egyptian Pyramid construction
Rajan Hooda’s findings offer a plausible explanation for the precise movement and placement of the massive stone blocks, shedding new light on one of history's most extraordinary architectural achievements.

The mystery surrounding the construction of the Egyptian pyramids has intrigued historians and scientists for centuries. Now, Rajan Hooda, an Indian-origin researcher from the University of Chicago, has introduced a revolutionary theory that could unlock the secrets of how these ancient architectural wonders were built.
Hooda's findings, published in his latest research paper titled "Theory of The Conjoint Solution and The Shrinking Dual L Notch Ramps," detail an innovative construction methodology for the pyramids. This 20-page paper, the culmination of over five decades of meticulous research, provides what Hooda describes as "irrefutable evidence" supporting his theory.
Reflecting on his lifelong fascination with the pyramids, Hooda said, "I was captivated as an eight-year-old when I first heard of one of the great mysteries in the history of mankind—a puzzle unsolved for the past 4,500 years. My work is a labor of love and persistence that took me more than 50 years until I was finally able to put the last painstaking pieces of this immense three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle into place."
"The lowest layer of stones was completed, leaving a small portion in one corner unfinished to create a ramp rising to the top of the first layer, approximately 4.5 feet high," Hooda explained. / Rajan Hooda Website.The 'L Notch Ramp' theory
Critiquing existing theories that rely on exterior ramps or complex internal tunnels, Hooda proposes a new approach: the 'L Notch Ramp.' He theorizes that the pyramids were built in layers, akin to a "layer cake," with 210 individual levels of stone.
"The lowest layer of stones was completed, leaving a small portion in one corner unfinished to create a ramp rising to the top of the first layer, approximately 4.5 feet high," Hooda explained. "This ramp transported stones for the second layer. Similarly, a portion of the second layer was left incomplete to extend the ramp, which facilitated construction of the third layer. This process was repeated 209 times until the pyramid was finished."
Upon completion, the ramp system was removed in reverse order, starting from the top. "The highest level of the ramp was dismantled, and the missing stones of level 209 were put into place. This reverse process continued layer by layer, ending with the lowest level being completed last," Hooda said.
Unlike external or internal ramp theories, the 'L Notch Ramp' was built as a cut-out notch within the footprint of each layer of stones. For efficiency, Hooda suggests the use of dual ramps—one for transporting stones upwards and a smaller one for workers descending.
"This method solves the riddle of ramp logistics," Hooda stated. "Since the two ramps were eventually removed, no physical evidence of their existence remains, explaining why the pyramids' construction has been an enduring mystery for millennia."
Hooda’s findings offer a plausible explanation for the precise movement and placement of the massive stone blocks, shedding new light on one of history's most extraordinary architectural achievements.
"This theory provides answers to questions that have baffled researchers for centuries," Hooda said. His work promises to reshape the way historians and scientists understand the engineering marvels of ancient Egypt.
