Scientists may have solved mystery behind Egypt's pyramids | BBC News

Scientists believe they may have solved the mystery of how 31 pyramids, including the world-famous Giza complex, were built in Egypt more than 4,000 years ago.
A research team from the University of North Carolina Wilmington has discovered that the pyramids are likely to have been built along a long-lost, ancient branch of the River Nile - which is now hidden.
For many years, archaeologists have thought that ancient Egyptians must have used a nearby waterway to transport materials such as the stone blocks needed to build the pyramids on the river.
But up until now, "nobody was certain of the location, the shape, the size or proximity of this mega waterway to the actual pyramids site".

    Man power shouldn't be underestimated, but don't assume they literally lifted these blocks on their shoulders. You only need to use ropes to lift the blocks 30 cm, enough to put long tree logs underneath, then push the blocks onto a road of logs, allowing for them to be pushed or pulled. I'm sure they figured out a way.

    How do we know that the water was used to transport materials or are we just making assumptions. There may be a lot of circumstantial evidence. However, how do we know with certainty that it wasn’t for a different purpose such as transport for the population in the area or even for the pyramid power plant theory? We keep writing off so many possibilities as we already have a story and just need to make the evidence fit. Exactly like when people get wrongly convicted. We are biased beyond comprehension.

    2.3 million blocks just for the Great Pyramid… do the math….designed, site levelled, blocks cut, transported, lifted, positioned and finished in apparently around 25 years. That would be one block from quarry to placement every few minutes, 24 hours a day. Even with a speedboat and a modern overhead crane that’s not realistic.

    The pyramids are interconnected by deep underground aquifiers (maybe required for their function). These aquifiers were fed by the Nile. I have seen old photographs of water by way of either a canal or river branch close to the great pyramid. Of interest is that the largest stone in the complex is estimated to weigh 600 tons. They moved it somehow.

    Not may have, they were transported via the Nile. A taskmasters written account is available journaling his trip with a shipment. They used the stars to position them, cranes and manual labor to lift and place the stone. One man can, without a crane, get an object they can’t fully lift up steps simply, a little at a time.

    The pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx are way older than mainstream says they are.. They are upwards of over 250 000+ years older than mainstream says. So that means the Egyptians (that we know of) did not build the pyramids, they found them. Same with the sphinx and many other megalithic ancient structures around the world were actually found as they were, and build around or on top of and this list includes the pyramids and the sphinx. The pyramids and the sphinx were around during the last pole flip. They were once completely underwater. If you ever heard of the Great filter is an explanation on to why life is so rare in the universe - an event that all civilizations go through and survival is depended on level of technology, the pole flip happens on every planet and is an extinction level event roughly every 250 000- 500 000 years that only 1 or 2 % of civilizations can survive. It happens so often that there is a clock set to get technologically advanced before the next pole flip or its an extinction event if global technology isn't sufficient enough to survive. That's just a hypothesis though

    @pencilme1n the outer layer you see now was once fitted without mortar. The pyramids were encased in white marble that shined like a mirror in the sun, there was a gold tip on the the top. The pyramids were found that way, not only are they in line with the stars everybody knows about they are also in exact precise location of certain attitude longitude lines on Earth. The builders that built the pyramids had more understanding of our Universe, Earth and understood mathmatics on a level we can't completly comprehend even today. The pyramids along with other megalithic ancient structures are placed on exact lattitude longitude lines connecting themselves through an energetic hiway, so to speak. The builders had a c0mplex understanding of our planet and the energy it produces more so, than what we understand today. If I could only explain what I believe to be the true history of Earth and Humanity's story..... you may have a diffrent perspective. Our story is long,complex and alot diffrent than what any Bible, scripture, or religious text says on Earth. unfortuantly, I don't have enough space or time to write it in this reply. ( I also don't know the full story obviously because I wasn't around then so I can't provide the complete history without speculation on some major parts that may be somewhat controversial however I've seen enough proof and physical evidence that the history speaks for itself, if you know where to look the peices fit.)

    Yes that is the obvious answer. Consider the hundreds of years of pyramid building and the thousands of people it would take. This tells us that there was a functioning city in which the pyramids were built. The people needed water and food but the organisers of the building work would be educated rich people, and they would never countenance living on hot sand, so they would be in cool homes with their families. The middle east has a problem related to sand, that is sandstorms. It is easier for sand dunes to be blown to form in other places. Sand quickly covers up many things and a canal or river would easily be re-routed or filled in by these sandstorms over thousands of years.

    Still doesn't explain how they carved out that many blocks with basic tools, and then somehow lifted them into place to a considerable height to build a giant pyramid. So they either floated or rolled them to the location, we know this. But how did they get a near 3 ton block 130 meters up in the air, and do all of this to an accurate millimeter degree in line with true north? This would be a difficult feat even today with modern technology.

    A stone ramp was built along with the pyramid. As the pyramid got higher is did the ramp, they used it to place the stones on top one after another. Once the pyramid was finished the ramp was taken down.

    I think that the entire world must be educated about what the United Kingdom has done during world warII in Egypt. in addition to the ancient Egyptian monuments which were stolen by the British government , and smuggled out and put in the British museum, its very important to mention that when Egypt was under the British occupation at that time, the British economy was suffering and due to that the British government was taking bank loans from Egypt, and at the end of the British occupation the British government stole all the Egyptian gold reserves which were stored in the Egyptian central bank, and put it in the British central bank. And until today the United Kingdom didn’t return anything and they didn’t even pay their debt to Egypt. Now that’s what the world have to learn.
