TOP DOWN VIEW OF KHUFU'S TOWER  UNDER CONSTRUCTION

 
THE CANTILIVER RESET METHOD
 
 
Here is a diagram where,” RED represents the counterweight glide path. 4 of them altogether. The two represented at the bottom of the diagram depicting two counterweights faced off against one another. One facing right and the other facing left. Together they are able to accommodate a lift on rollers and ropes using The Single Rope and Double Pulley configuration powered by a counterweight on each end in an attempt at getting these very large and necessary granite beams and rafters up to their perch in anyone of the five relieving chambers there in. After the counterweight blocks were successfully placed on the upper tier of level 3 storage area they could start lifting the heavy stuff of around 63 tons or so up to that level of construction. Black represents ground level, red: the counterweight slides. Brown, the third level storage area. Gray represents the fourth level of construction and blue is The Kings Burial Chamber itself.
         
  Same goes for the two construction ramps that you see in the middle of the diagram extending outward to the edges of the pyramid represented here in BROWN, or TAN constitute the 3rd  level storage area that was used to move blocks into place on to The Grand Gallery lift which fed and lifted two counterweight blocks at a time to level 4. Also, for moving counterweights opposite to the beams and rafters that were raised in The Grand Gallery on the center right by placing these blocks on the same positioned counterweight lift and allowing them to descend two separate levels in a single pass. Moving two separate beams, rafters, or counterweights, and any variation that could be made as long as the total was 63 tons. This allowed them to use The Cantilever Lifting Technique and lift the stone structures into their place in the relieving chambers built above The King’s Burial Chamber. 
         
Located at the top of level 4. GRAY represents the working space of level 4. Used to transport the monoliths one more level to level 5. Their final resting place above The King’s Burial Chamber. To do this they moved the two monoliths into place in the left hand side they would then be placed on the center left counterweight slope described in the diagram of the interior, “tower” if you will. The other would be carted off behind The Grand Gallery lift and then placed neatly on this descending counterweight ramp that stretched from the very top of level 4 down to ground level. Level 4 blocks were placed there in order to lift they giant monolith stones that were placed on the left had side of the center counterweight and hoisted into position. And finally settling at ground level once again after pulling the beam or rafter across the top for the walls of The King’s Burial Chamber labeled in BLUE and into place there above.
           
There  are  forty  three  different  beams  that  support  and segregate all of the five relieving chambers that are all located above The King’s Burial Chamber, and starting out at the top rung one of the pyramid and while working their way downwards from the first  tier all  the  way down to  where the rafters were at constitute the fifth level that the relieving chambers started out at, and listed from left to right there are eight beams that are all stacked neatly against one another stretching 10 meters from one side to the ceiling to the next. The first beams weigh around 63.2 tons continuing on from left to right the next beam is 36.1, 55.6, 38.8, 40.6, 31.6, 24.8, and 63.6  tons  in  that  order. Below  that  we  have  nine  more starting out on the left with a beam that is 37.3, 33.9, 33.9, 51, 46.2, 51, 27.01, 28.4, and rounding off the fourth row would be the  last  one  on  the  right  hand side of 55.3 tons.  Traveling downwards once again we start out from the left with 463.5,51, 31.6, 43.4 47.4, 47.4, 47.4 and 56 tons. The second row from the bottom starts out with 47.9, 40.2, 39.5, 51.5, 47.4, 49.7, 43.4, and 44.3 tons allowing plenty enough room for nine more beams that form the actual ceiling inside The King’s Burial Chamber starting out with the one on the left as being 51, 61, 55.6, 36.1, 45.2, 51, 52.8, 40.6, and 36.1 tons. 
           
All of them come in a variety of shapes and sizes and only being chiseled into a flat side on three sides. The top of them are rounded and unfinished because what would’ve been the point in flattening them? The King’s Chamber itself measures roughly 5.8 meters high, by 5.3 meters wide, by 10.5 meters long. There are 22 rafters used by The Egyptians.Now, you may notice when looking at this diagram that the beams and rafters shouldn’t be able to cross from one side of the pyramid to the other? Well, what makes this happen is by examining this chart of the inside of the pyramid out. Once you realize that the beams and rafters raised from the ground level up used counterweight lifting system of equal size, and proportion to go up the slope and slide on the other side of the hill. This mainly constitutes the inner make up of the pyramid and The Cantilever  Lifting System or Method. The Cantilever Technique, and Hemienu’s Counterweight Reset, and  Lifting  Method  are the same ones that can lift any amount of weight that is either 4 or 5% of the actual weight of the block that they needed to lift up a 26 degree counterweight slope. After you do the math and you find out that’s how the percentage of something that you can lift when using anyone of these counterweight lifting configurations.
