The reading and the lecture are both about possibles theories to answer the question of how ancient Egyptians lifted block weighing in order to construct the Pyramids of Giza. While the author of the article argues that there are three potential theories, the lecturer disputes the arguments made in the article. His position is these theories do not have enough evidence to prove them.
According to the reading, the first theory is external ramp. The article mentions that this theory proposes a long, straight ramp built outside of the pyramid. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He claims that kind of structure is no very practical since it need thousands of kilometers of long and tall. Additionally, he points out that in the construction of Pyramids of Giza there was not space to have a enormous structure like that. Moreover, He said that external ramp was a huge task since ancient Egyptians did not have resources and capacity to build it.
Secondly, the author suggest that other theory will be the internal ramp. This theory said that block could have been moved upwards using a spiraling ramp inside of the pyramid's structure. The lecturer, however, asserts that that theory is also unlikely and it is very impossible to prove it. This theory has many problem concern about mobility inside of the pyramids.
Finally, the author put forth the theory that Egyptian builders created a concrete-like substance. The author contends that this fact helped to builders to form block in place at the structure. In contrast, the lecture's stance that idea is impossible. He notes that there are any microscopic evidence to prove it. Moreover, He claims that there are evidence many thousands years after of built the pyramids of Giza that concrete appeared.
