Secret of the Great Pyramid...hidden chamber is set to be revealed by an inflatable robotic blimp...
Daily Mail ^ | Thursday, December 14th 2017 | Harry Pettit

The device enters rooms and chambers through a 3.5 centimetre hole drilled through a wall by researchers outside.

It is made up of two robots, a tubular machine equipped with a high definition camera and a probe that explores the structure via a small, inflatable blimp.

After the first robot has taken a series of reconnaissance images, the drone is pushed through the drilled hole before inflating itself within the chamber.

Packed with an array of sensors and cameras, the remote-controlled device collects data and takes photos or video without causing damage to the fragile building.

After it has completed its mission, the floating probe returns to its docking station and deflates before it is extracted via the the same tube it entered in.

The discovery was made using 'cosmic ray imaging' in which subatomic particles that naturally rain down from the sky are used to map buildings like an X-ray scan.

Now scientists hope to use a new minimally-invasive robot to explore why chambers such as these were built.

The project has been initiated by ScanPyramids...

Oh, I'm still on board with Davidovits' geopolymer model (oddly enough, also French), and of course it has the virtue of being 100% compatible with internal ramps, ladders, shadoufs, prehistoric helicopters, or any other ideas put forth to date regarding techniques used. :^) One of the problems all of the quarried stones models has is the massive need for quarried stones early on. There's the water floatation hypothesis that is particularly impacted by this (not to mention that it is inherently untenable). By the time the halfway point in height is reached, about 89% of the mass has been installed, thus the second half takes about 3 years to complete, that's when the internal ramp would really take off, and poured synthetic stones would really make the work fly, particularly near the top when there's no way to deliver blocks through any kind of ramp. I suspect the use of scaffolding is part of Jean-Pierre Houdin's model, but if so I'm not aware of it. It would also mean the ramp exit must be fairly easy to find near the summit.

And shoveling their, uh, recycled food for 50 camels would be a big job. Not sure there’s an economic payoff for the man who just sold his friend into Islamic bondage.

This does it for me. I keep reading more and more articles which debunk the theory of carved and dressed stones as buildin blocks for the pyramids.

No reason to dispute this theory. It answers all the questions that rule out the previous theories.

And as far as the lost technology of cement, we have ample evidence that it can happen. The Romans are acknowledged to have used cememnt extensively in their building projects—bit the technology was lost again until the rediscovery in the 1800s with Portland cement.

The use of the counterpoise mechanism called the shadoof would enable the builders to lift agglomerate from one level to another with very little manpower—and they were using this mechanism for lifting water from the Nile already.

Roman concrete was different, and the exact method is still under discussion, but it differed from the various Egyptian methods and materials — however, all are/were analogous to each other.

The use of the shadoof is generally found in pyramid-building hypotheses, including that of Jean-Pierre Houdin.

Will Geraldo be there?

Don't know about Jerry Rivera, but I have been there, in the King's Chamber, the geometric center of the Great Pyramid. What an experience! One to die for (but not now, now is not the time to go to Egypt) - I was there in 1984.
