British engineer dubbed Indiana James has stunned archaeologists by claiming their theories on how pyramids were built are wrong.
Peter James said he believes ancient Egyptians formed the structures by piling up rubble on the inside and attaching bricks later.
His shock claim challenges hundreds of years of accepted belief that the pyramids were built with giant blocks carried up huge ramps.
The structural engineer reckons that would be impossible as the ramps would have had to have been at least a quarter of a mile long to get the right angle for the bricks to be taken to such great heights.

- I think he is right.
