Proposed translations
counter ramp
Ramps can then be constructed on the spiral staircase using smaller blocks in graded sizes overlaid with planks or split poles to slope across each step. The ramp and counter ramp style could be an option. This structure [primary ramp followed by spiral ramp] serves as the perfect system for transporting the largest stones for the walls and roof of the chamber.
