There is, however, a way to use the power of the Nile to float the blocks into place on the pyramid. I was looking for non-electric ways to move water uphill and stumbled onto this one.

It uses the same sealed column. The blocks were floated down the Nile from the quarry. The column is empty and the raft holding the block is moved into the bottom of the column and the column is sealed. Then a hydraulic ram pump is used to pump water uphill to the top of the column and into it to float the block to the top of the column. Drain the column by siphoning, lowering the raft to the bottom again, and repeat as necessary.

The hydraulic ram pump surprised me. I' had never heard of it before.

Scroll down on the following link to see the usage at the Nile river. They make a pretty convincing case that the Great Pyramid was a machine rather than a tomb.

It may also be related to Tesla's Magnifying Transmitter. Pure speculation put Tesla did sometimes use hydraulic analogies to his electrical circuits. I think it was Leland Anderson who had drawings of the transmitter with two spark gaps. The first spark gap is quenched and the short turn off time would be like the first water valve closing and creating the back pulse. The second gap would be set a bit wider so the back pulse would fire that second gap and charge the condenser.

They poured concrete. Water, sand and lime. Concrete stands for [With Crete], Phoenicians invented it, sailed around and taught everybody how to make it.
