Integrated Edge-Ramp (IER) Model — Interactive Unity Reconstruction of the Great Pyramid of Giza
Abstract
This record provides an interactive Unity-based reconstruction of the Integrated Edge-Ramp (IER) model proposed for the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The software visualizes the geometric logic, phased construction sequence, and logistical integration of the pyramid with the Ahramat branch of the Nile and its associated harbor infrastructure. The model emphasizes edge-integrated helicoidal ramps starting at the pyramid corners, minimizing external ramp material and enabling parallelized logistics. This executable is intended as a research visualization and educational tool supporting the associated preprint and forthcoming journal publication. It allows users to explore construction stages, spatial relationships, and landscape context in an interactive environment. System requirements:- Windows 64-bit- No installation required (standalone executable) Related publication npj Heritage Science (Nature portfolio):https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-7331924/v1
