Egypt’s pyramids |Great Pyramid of Giza | Daily Current News | Drishti IAS

Moving things that weigh over two tonnes is a difficult task today — imagine doing so 4,500 years ago. Yet, that is exactly what the ancient Egyptians pulled off to build the iconic pyramids of Egypt. Take, for instance, the Great Pyramid of Giza. Scholars estimate that it contains roughly 2.3 million individual blocks of stone, each weighing 2.3 metric tonnes on average. Moving such heavy objects without mechanised equipment seems so implausible that some have even (dubiously) credited aliens for the feat. A new study, however, finds that it was the River Nile that made Egypt’s pyramids possible. Most of Egypts pyramids can be found in a 50 km, north-south stretch of desert between Giza and the village of Lisht. These sites today lie several kilometeres away from the Nile. While Egyptologists have long suspected that the river might once have been closer to the pyramids, and indeed contemporaneous literary evidence suggests the same, conclusive proof has been elusive — until now. A study published in the journal Communications Earth and Environment on May 16 has identified segments of a major extinct branch of the Nile, which runs right adjacent to the pyramids and could have been used to move heavy material around.
