The Pyramids of Egypt have been studied for centuries, yet mysteries remain. How were they built? How did the designers get their ideas? Dr El Baez Farouk of the Centre for Remote Sensing in Boston Massachusetts believes they copied rocks which had been shaped quite naturally by winds. He claims that even the Sphinx was inspired in this way. What is the secret of the objects found inside the Great Pyramid, long hidden away in the British Museum and now being reassessed? And has a German robot found a secret chamber hidden deep inside the Great Pyramid? A British architect offers his theory on how the pyramids were built, in a spectacular and nerve-wracking demonstration. American pyramid buff Bob Lowdermilk believes he has reconstructed the weird construction machine that made the Pyramids possible. And in a backyard in Maryland, a man from Black and Decker shows how he believes it was done, with an A-frame.
