Scientists have solved the secret of pyramid construction in Ancient Egypt

Mystery of stone block delivery for Egyptian pyramid construction revealed

Archaeologists have made a breakthrough in understanding ancient Egyptian technologies, discovering the method of transporting massive stone blocks to the construction site of the majestic pyramids. According to new data, the gigantic blocks were delivered by water — builders used a tributary of the now-dried-up Nile, which significantly facilitated the movement of heavy materials.

Parallel studies indicate a complex approach by ancient Egyptians to construction logistics. As the ancient Greek historian Herodotus noted, wooden jacks were used to move the blocks. A number of modern scientists also put forward a theory about the use of earthen ramps, which allowed multi-ton blocks to be raised up an inclined plane to a significant height.
