One of the biggest unanswered questions in history for the past few thousand years is the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. Since its erection, it has been an unsolved enigma as to how the ancient Egyptians moved stones into place, as they weigh in the order of several tons each, and the sophisticated techniques they employed to shape these enormous pieces of limestone and hold them in place, as they never utilised any machines or sophisticated technology in its erection. However, in the year 2013, an important discovery was unearthed at the site called the Wadi El-Jarf in Egypt’s Red Sea coastal town, holding the Red Sea Papyri, an ancient account left by the journal of Merer, a chief overseer of the Great Pyramid, providing previously unknown details about transporting limestone from quarries and organising large teams of workers efficiently.
