The Header System of Sluices Role in Pyramid Construction

Header System of the Sluices www.secretofthepyramids.com The water elevation in the Khufu Basin was 13 meters above sea level. The elevation of the Khufu Quarry was 40-45 meters above sea level, and the elevation of the pyramid base was 60 meters above sea level. The base of the Pyramid was 47 meters higher than the water table in the Khufu Basin. Sluices were used to manage the elevation change. The Great Pyramid could have been built in two years, requiring a constant flow of stones to the pyramid base. 3.5 stones per minute would need to move through the supply and delivery canal, and 3.5 stones per minute lifted onto the Pyramid. It took 4 minutes to lift one stone in each sluice, meaning a header system of sluices was necessary to deliver the frequency of stones required to enable construction. Every header system between Khufu Quarry and the pyramid base had 15 sluices, each with one sluice in the center for the greatest stones and 14 additional sluices for average size stones. The canal from Khufu Quarry would have supplied a constant flow of stones and plenty of water necessary to construct the pyramid. The pyramid's base was precisely leveled with water, and every layer was verified by the same method.
