The Great Pyramids of Eqypt were ram water pumps

The Great Pyramid of Giza.

Cutaway Drawing of the Pyramid Pump

Here is a cutaway of the Pyramid Pump in operation. Just run your pointer over the grey buttons
below the picture from left to right slowly.

Move your cursor/pointer slowly across the buttons above, fom left to right, to
see the cycle of the valves in the detail.
This is a larger cutaway of the chambers and passages forming the Pyramid Ram Pump. Water is blue;
high pressure is dark blue, ambient is light blue. Note the strainers on the inlet and the aqueduct itself.
Debris had to be kept out of the pump inlet. The pump could be stopped and re-started, but that was a
lengthy and difficult process, to be avoided except for periodic cleaning and maintenence. The pressure
relief chambers and outlets can be seen..the 'Queens Chamber' or secondary pressure relief chamber, and
the 'Kings Chamber' or primary pressure relief chamber. The placement of these outlets are correct...off
the floor, to avoid sediment, but low down--about 3-4 feet, to keep from losing the air 'cushion' in the
chambers. Both these chambers have an air shaft, which is closed during pump operation and opened when
the pump is drained for maintenence. The valves are at the intersection, shown in the enlarged detail.

Most early explorers of the pyramids were more interested in the discovery of treasures than in scientific
enlightenment. It is fortunate for us that some brave scholars took the time to explore and map the inner
chambers and conduits of these mammoth structures. Their dedication has enabled scientists to draw reasonable
conclusions, through the years, on the purpose of their existence.

During the initial phases of exploration, scholars were interested in proving that the pyramids were built for one

purpose; as a tomb for the ruling Pharaohs, as a system of measurements, or an observatory for early
astronomers, etc. In light of the mathematical, geometric and astronomical features that were incorporated into
the pyramid structure, their assumptions were hardly without basis.

Unfortunately, for purposes of historical revision, bias will always defeat speculation and conjecture. Modern
dogma insists that the Egyptian pyramids had one inclusive reason for being . . . to house the remains of their
deceased rulers. However, chronicled history must be challenged when overwhelming evidence exists to the
contrary. Modern mankind must not be so arrogant as to preclude the possibility that our ancestors thousands of
years ago understood and forged into practical usage what we have trouble omprehending today.

While we will undoubtedly never uncover the naked truth behind the existence of the pyramids, it is important to
dispute and even confront historical myth and legend. An open-minded view of the past allows for an
unprejudiced glimpse into the future.

This site is a collaboative effort by:

Edward Weaver , amateur Egyptologist and avid Pyramidologist. Ed has studied these ancient civilizations for many
years, as well as the idea of a hydraulic structure within the Giza Pyramid. Any comments or questions in these areas
are welcomed.

Don Wilson., author of All About Hydraulic Ram Pumps E-book has been building, installing and consulting on ram
pumps for almost 2 decades. His experiences revealed the functions of the inner chambers and passages of the Great
Pyramid as a possible working Hydraulic Ram Water Pump. Any comments or questions in these areas. or on this web
site, are welcomed.

Most of the photos in this site were taken from the out of print PYRAMIDOLOGY by Adam Rutherford, and
SECRETS OF THE GREAT PYRAMID by Peter Tompkins; also some material from the Giza Pyramid
Research site as well as other public domain sources. Much thanks and appreciation to these.
