A theoretical approach to the internal structure of the Great Pyramid of Giza

Abstract

The interior of the Great Pyramid of Giza is an outstanding example of the engineering and architectural genius of ancient Egypt. The aim of this article is to reconstruct the structural design and construction process of the pyramid based on the latest archaeological and engineering research. The study analyses in detail the functional role and structural characteristics of the interior spaces, including the tomb chambers, corridors and load-distribution systems, and presents their evolutionary history in the light of earlier pyramids. It pays particular attention to the construction techniques of saddle beams and granite load-bearing chambers, which reflect contemporary innovation. Special emphasis is given to the use

of materials, structural solutions and labour management strategies used in pyramid construction. The results will not only deepen our understanding of the internal construction of the Great Pyramid, but will also contribute to a better understanding of the technological and cultural context of ancient architecture. The study offers new perspectives on engineering and archaeological approaches to pyramid construction, while drawing attention to further research opportunities.
