So, secondly, I would like to explain to you just exactly what a Single Rope and Double Pulley system is. It starts out with a single 26 degree slope. This method cut the weight of the counterweight load by halve and then by halve again. Due to the two pulley mechanisms involved. Considering that they wanted the use of the total amount of a 16 ton load from the ground level up to the 32nd meter storage level. That being said, if we wanted to lift the full 128.8% of something in order to lift a single 16 ton counterweight using this method by itself it would come out to be 128.8% of 16 tons. Divided by 4 due to the double pulley method you come up with 5.1 tons to be lifted by the men at work. So, just how much weight will the single rope and double pulley system require the workers to lift when resetting the lower left hand counterweight lift by using 32 ton counterweights, or a 2 16 ton counterweights to raise 63 tons up to ther 32nd meter storage level using Heneinu's Lifting and Reset Method?
Now that they had 63 ton counterweights waiting on the west side lifting platform on the 32 meter storage level to provide lifting power in The Grand Gallery which was made possible by the counterweight's slide on the east side of the tower that we've been talking about. Ones that could've been used to make up the difference between the two because of the new height of the 63 ton counterweight blocks now located on the face of the tower's third level working platform. That would’ve given them 71.2% of the weight of the beam's weight over to the positive weight category on the towers east side after using Hemeinu's Counterweight Reset Method to lift the weight sixteen ton blocks to get things started they would now use the descending platform on the east side of the tower operating 63 ton counterweight blocks with a restitution force of 128.8% of the original weight one at a time. This is called, "The Cantilever Lifting Method"
They would've just lowered the west side lifting platform with a 63 ton counterweight twice. Moving two beams up to the 48th meter level using The Grand Gallery Lift. This area is also known as the 4th level working platform. The west side lifting platform would descended to the ground level all the way from the 32nd meter level. One after the other in order for them to get the 2 16 ton counterweight blocks that they needed to raise a 63 ton beam or rafter upwards to the 32nd meter level. This is where they could be used to Cantilever the heavier beams, 3-21 ton rafters, and the 48 ton beams combined with a 16 ton counterweight up to the storage level 3 using Hemeinu's Counterweight Lifting Method. It seems kind of funny how everything adds up to 63 tons doesn’t it? There were 3 21 ton rafters, 48 ton beams with one 16 ton counterweight block, and 4 16 ton blocks all add up to 63. A perfect balance between the two halves of Khufu’s Counterweights!
