64-km Ahramat Branch of the Nile discovered, potentially explaining ancient Egyptian pyramid material transportation.
Scientists have discovered a long-lost branch of the Nile River in Egypt, potentially explaining the transportation of materials for the construction of ancient Egyptian pyramids. The 64-kilometer-long Ahramat Branch once ran alongside over 30 pyramids and may have provided access to a crucial waterway used by the ancient Egyptians to build their monuments. The research team used radar satellite data, geophysical surveys, and soil coring to map the buried waterway, which may have played a role in the transportation of materials and workmen during the construction of the pyramids.
