Vicente Luis Rosell Roig spent six years developing a model evaluated in a 2026 npj Heritage Science paper. Its integrated edge-ramp system uses helical paths along the pyramid's edges, formed by omitting and backfilling perimeter courses, with multiple ramps beginning on all four faces. The block-by-block simulation suggests the Great Pyramid could have been completed in under 27 years.
New paper evaluates an integrated edge-ramp model for Great Pyramid construction

Key facts
- Vicente Luis Rosell Roig authored a 2026 npj Heritage Science paper evaluating an edge-integrated, multi-ramp construction model for the Great Pyramid.
- The model forms helical paths along the pyramid's edges by omitting and backfilling perimeter courses, not by emitting them.
- It uses multiple ramps associated with all four faces, in contrast to Jean-Pierre Houdin's internal spiral-ramp proposal.
- Rosell Roig developed the idea over six years, progressing from hand sketches in 2020 to 3D models simulating construction block by block.
- The simulation estimates that the Great Pyramid could have been completed in under 27 years.
- Rosell Roig cites evidence for four perpendicular ramps at the smaller Sinki Pyramid, one on each face, as context for the model.
