New Theory on How Egypt's Pyramids Were Built Will Cause 'War with Archaeologists'

New entrant in the debate over how the pyramids were built:

Quote:

Welsh engineer Peter James has unveiled a new theory that the ancient Egyptian pyramids were built from rubble. Archaeologists are fighting claims that their explanations on how the pyramids were built are incorrect. Far from being constructed of giant stone blocks, 90% are rubble, according to a Times report. Peter James, dubbed Indiana James, who has spent the last two decades studying the Egyptian pyramids, said: "Under the current theories, to lay the two million stone blocks required the Egyptians would had to have laid a large block once every three minutes on long ramps. "If that happened, there would still be signs that the ramps had been there, and there aren't any. "I'm going to have a war with archaeologists. They will say: 'How would you know? You're not an archaeologist.' But if you wanted a house built would you use me or an archaeologist? Archaeologists have never had the engineering experience."

Is this really new or unexpected?
