Egypt’s Great Pyramids have been a source of wonder and mystery for centuries. Recent research has uncovered new insights into the construction methods of these ancient marvels, particularly focusing on the Step Pyramid of Djoser.
A study published in the journal PLOS ONE suggests that the Step Pyramid was built using a sophisticated hydraulic lift system, contrary to previous beliefs that ramps and levers were primarily used. The research proposes that the Ancient Egyptians utilized nearby canals to power weight-bearing lifts, allowing for the transportation of heavy stone blocks.
