Malaysheh Theory of Clay Molds in the Construction of the Pyramids: An Interdisciplinary Engineering–Scientific Study

This work presents an original interdisciplinary theory proposing that the primary construction method of the Egyptian pyramids relied on clay–lime molds and in-situ casting rather than large-scale stone quarrying and transport. The study integrates engineering analysis, materials science, construction management, and historical reasoning to reinterpret physical, structural, and administrative evidence observed in the pyramids. The Malaysheh Theory does not seek to negate existing interpretations but aims to fill explanatory gaps related to material behavior, construction logistics, time management, and long-term structural stability. This work represents an original contribution based on applied engineering reasoning and interdisciplinary analysis.
