In February, 1978 an archaeological team from Waseda University near Tokyo, in association with the Nippon Corporation of Japan, received permission from the Egyptian government to begin construction of a 35-foot mini-pyramid, which was to be located just to the southeast of the Third Pyramid of Giza. The aim of the project was not for size but for technique. The Japanese endeavored to complete the pyramid building task by utilizing the same primitive methods supposedly employed by the ancient Egyptians, or at least the methods claimed they employed by modern archaeologists.
The Japanese objective was to quarry the stone out of the nearby hills, float them across the Nile by raft, drag them to the building site by the “heave-ho” method of large numbers of men pulling on the stones with ropes, and finally lifting and placing the stones into the pyramid structure with simple levers. The new pyramid was to be a showcase of how it was all accomplished.
But no sooner had work begun on the pyramid when the planners found themselves faced with insurmountable problems. First, the rock for the stones resisted most of the hand tools tried to cut them, so workers had to resort to modern air-jack hammers to accomplish the task. Then the quarried blocks could not be safely floated on the Nile river by wooden raft, so finally they were ferried across by modern diesel-powered boats. Once ashore, the stones were tackled by large teams of hired Egyptian workmen, but the stones budged little, sinking instead into the river silt and desert sands.
Again, modern technology had to be called upon, and heavy trucks were toiled to their limits in transporting the stones to the pyramid site. As a last straw, neither could the great number of workmen lift the weighty stones using ropes, levers or pulleys, so a large industrial crane had to come to the rescue, and eventually a helicopter, to put the stones in place.
Even then, employing some of the most powerful lifting equipment known today, the work of positioning the stones into the pyramid was slow and tedious, with the blocks left greatly out of alignment, and many broken and battered, by the difficult and clumsy handling. And these were stones only averaging less than one-half a ton in size each.
