Archaeologists reveal the dilemma of Egypt's Giza (Video) pyramids

New finds on the outskirts of Cairo have discovered ships aimed at transporting large stones.

The findings shed new light on how King Khufu's tomb, built over 4,000 years ago about 2550 BC, was built.

Archaeologists found earlier that some rocks had been unearthed eight miles from Giza in a place called Tura, while granite had dug over 500 miles away.

The way these materials were transported, however, has long been a source of disagreement among academics, reports the Independent”, Periscopi broadcast.

A group of archaeologists working at Giza Giza's pyramid complex have discovered an archaeological site that has discovered an ancient papyrus scroll manuscript, the remains of a ship, and a network of waterways at the pyramid site, offering new evidence showing how the seventh miracle of the world has been built.

The document was evidently written by a man named Meer, who was responsible for 40 elite sailors. Archaeologists found that thousands of trained workers used ships to sail the sewers dug along the Nile River for the purposes of transporting limestone.

The ships were carried along with thick, twisted ropes, some of which have survived and been found.

After collecting the materials, the workers would take them to a port within a few yards from the pyramid base. In total, about 2.3 million stone blocks were transported across the country over two decades.

American archaeologist Mark Lehner, who has over 30 years of digging experience in Egypt, said: “We've outlined the central channel basin, which we think was the primary distribution area on the feet of Gizatos”. /Periscopi/
