As in Egypt built the pyramids: archaeologists have discovered the secret of the Millennium
Archaeologists have unearthed an ancient papyrus scroll in the complex of the Giza pyramids.

In the papyrus (“the oldest ever found”), which 4 years was wanted by the archaeologist Pierre tail, describes the progress of the construction of the famous pyramid of Cheops, and it was probably written by a man by the name of Merer, who was responsible for the work of “40 elite sailors,” reports Rus.Media. The document describes in detail the process of transportation of building blocks, digging of canals constructing big dams and many other items.

According to news reports, thousands of skilled workers used boats to move the blocks on the canals that were dug along the Nile river. The boats were held together by thick twisted ropes, some of them survived and were found in good condition.

Limestone blocks were brought by boat directly to the base of the pyramid, which for two decades delivered some 2.3 million units. As defined earlier, granite for interior of the pyramids was quarried at Aswan over 860 kilometers South of Giza, and limestone in Round 12 kilometers away, on the other Bank of the Nile.
