Peter James, an engineer at Cintec International in Newport, South Wales, has stunned archaeologists by claiming their theories on how pyramids were built are wrong.
According to the currently accepted belief, pyramids were built with giant blocks carried up huge ramps.
James said such a thing would be impossible as the ramps would have had to have been at least a quarter of a mile long to get the right angle for the bricks to be taken to such great heights, 'Mirror Online' reported.
"If that happened, there would still be signs that the ramps had been there, and there aren't any," he said.
