Scientists have recently made a groundbreaking discovery, uncovering a hidden branch of the Nile river near Egypt’s Giza pyramid complex. The river, buried beneath desert and farmland for millennia, may hold the key to solving the mystery of how the ancient Egyptians transported heavy materials to build the iconic pyramids.
The team, led by geomorphologist Eman Ghoneim, utilized radar technology to reveal the long-lost branch, named Ahramat, that once flowed through the pyramid field. This discovery sheds light on the possibility of ancient human settlements buried beneath the surface and explains why the pyramids were built in different areas over generations.
This finding challenges previous assumptions and emphasizes the significance of waterways in shaping ancient civilizations. By understanding the past, we can better prepare for the future. The study, published in Communications Earth & Environment, marks a pivotal moment in unraveling the mysteries of Egypt’s ancient history.
