One of the authors (F.S.) conjectured a method that could be used for the task. In his own words: \u201cThis is the story of the random discovery of an oscillating machine, capable of using gravity to ascend, as the sail goes upwind.\u201d In this article, by means of a virtual prototype and multibody dynamics simulation, the physical feasibility of such method is tested for the first time. From historical and archeological bases, this investigation presents the fundamental functional features of the virtual model components for the ascending of the stones. Furthermore, the methodological details for the model setup, as well as the discussion on the stone ascending movements, are herein addressed. The main results obtained from the simulation include the evaluation of the advancement\u2010per\u2010cycle of the conjectured ascending device and the corresponding required driving forces.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cav.2125","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,11]],"date-time":"2022-10-11T06:04:13Z","timestamp":1665468253000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Virtual testing of a new conjecture for the stone ascending device in Egyptian pyramids by means of a multibody dynamics simulation"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0287-9584","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Franco","family":"Sarbia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent researcher Biella Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0700-3752","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco","family":"Cirelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Rome Niccol\u00f2 Cusano Rome Italy"}]},{"given":"Oliviero","family":"Giannini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Rome Niccol\u00f2 Cusano Rome Italy"}]},{"given":"Mattia","family":"Cera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Enterprise Engineering University of Rome \u201cTor Vergata\u201d Rome Italy"}]},{"given":"Pier Paolo","family":"Valentini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Enterprise Engineering University of Rome \u201cTor Vergata\u201d Rome Italy"}]},{"given":"Ettore","family":"Pennestr\u00ec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Enterprise Engineering University of Rome \u201cTor Vergata\u201d Rome Italy"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","first-page":"16","article-title":"Gli oggetti del deposito di fondazione di Hatscepsut nel Museo egizio di Firenze","volume":"5","author":"Guidotti M","year":"1982","journal-title":"Egitto e Vicino Oriente"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","volume-title":"Breve notizia degli oggetti di antichit\u00e0 egiziane riportati dalla spedizione letteraria Toscana in Egitto e in Nubia eseguita negli anni 1828\u20131829 ed esposti al pubblico nell'accademia delle arti e mestieri in S.
