Indian-American researcher Rajan Hooda, from the University of Chicago, has proposed a groundbreaking theory on the construction of the Egyptian pyramids. After over 50 years of research, Hooda introduced the 'Theory of The Conjoint Solution and The Shrinking Dual L Notch Ramps,' explaining how the massive stone blocks were moved with precision. His research suggests that the pyramids were built layer by layer, using a unique L Notch Ramp system, which was later removed, leaving no evidence behind. Hooda’s theory provides new insights into one of history's greatest architectural mysteries.
