Jean Pier, an architect, developed a theory about the construction of the Great Pyramid, proposing an internal ramp hidden for 4,500 years. He created a 3D model to test this theory, which suggested a spiral ramp inside the pyramid that avoided existing chambers. Despite initial skepticism, a French survey from the 1980s provided evidence supporting his hypothesis, showing a low-density spiral shape inside the pyramid. This discovery aligns with Jean Pier's theory, suggesting the internal ramp's existence.
