Who does not know about the Egyptian pyramids, one of the seven wonders of the world. But do you know how people carried big stones for the Egyptian pyramids at that time and where did they come from.
Even as a child and grown up, you must have read about the pyramids, one of the seven wonders of the world. But do you know how pyramids were built from countless big stones in desert areas. Today we will tell you how pyramids were built in places like deserts.
Pyramid
The pyramids, one of the seven wonders, were built in Giza several thousand years ago. Their huge structure and presence in Egypt is proof of the simplicity of an ancient civilization. But how these historical buildings were built in a desert area is still a subject of research. Let us tell you that a research has found that big stones were carried through the Nile River.
The truth about the construction of the pyramids
Let us tell you that the Nile River is several kilometers away from the pyramids. Therefore, bringing stones from such a distance to the site of the pyramids in new research raises questions. Some new information has come to light in new research. Scientists have discovered a long-lost branch of the Nile River which is now buried under sand and fields. Using satellite imagery, experts have identified the location of an ancient river branch near the pyramid site. They have confirmed their results through geophysical surveys and sediment cores.
Through their research, researchers have detected river sediments and old channels under the ground. Which indicates the presence of an old branch of the 64-kilometer-long river. Researchers found that at one time the branch of the river flowed near the pyramid areas. They have named the branch of the Nile River “Ahramat”, which means “pyramid” in Arabic. According to them, the ancient branch of the Nile River must have played an important role in the construction of the pyramids and reaching here. The river would have made it easier to transport large stone blocks and other equipment to the construction site of the pyramid.
Importance of the Nile River
Let us tell you that the Nile River has always been more important for Egypt than just a source of water. This river has served as a lifeline, providing livelihood to the land and its people. Not only this, the Nile River has also provided great convenience in the form of transportation. It has facilitated trade and movement of people. It is the center of the identity and development of Egyptian civilization.
