Archaeologists uncover proof of how Ancient Egyptians built the Great Pyramid in 2600BC

NEW evidence reveals the Ancient Egyptians constructed the Great Pyramid at Giza by transporting 170,000 tonnes of Iimestone in boats.

It has long been known that the rock was extracted 13km away in Tura and that granite used in the monumental structure was quarried 858km away in Aswan, reports The Sun.

However, archaeologists have disagreed over how the material was transported to Giza, now part of modern- day Cairo, for construction of Pharaoh Khufu's tomb in ZGOOBC.

 

Now that mystery could be a step closer to being solved after the discovery of ¹an ancient scroll of papyrus, ²a ceremonial boat and ³a network of waterways, reported the Mail on Sunday.

 

The new evidence shows that thousands of labourers transported 170,000 tonnes of limestone along the River Nile in wooden boats built with planks and rope.

 

The 2.5-tonne blocks were ferried through ⁴a system of specially designed canals before arriving at an inland port built just yards away from the base of the Great Pyramid.

 

The papyrus scroll is the only first-hand record of how the pyramid was built, and was written by an overseer named Merer.

 

He explained in detail how the limestone was moved from the quarry in Tura to Giza using the Bronze Age waterways.

 

Archaeologist Mark Lehner has also uncovered evidence of a waten/vay underneath the plateau the pyramid sits on.

 

He said: “We've outlined the central canal basin, which we think was the primary delivery area to the foot of the Giza Plateau.”

 

The new discoveries are being broadcast in a documentary called Egypt's Great Pyramid: The New Evidence.
