How Did Egypt Move Pyramid Stones? A Worker's Diary Gives Clues

How did ancient Egyptians move limestone to the Great Pyramid? A real work diary brings us closer to the people doing the job—and reveals where the evidence stops. Follow Merer's crew, the transport of limestone from Tura, the physics of carrying stone by boat, and experiments with wet sand. Then explore the hauling ramp at Hatnub and why it does not settle the entire question of lifting blocks up Khufu's pyramid. 00:00 A diary and an unanswered question 01:01 The discovery of Merer's logbooks 02:32 Why a boat can carry sinking stone 04:49 What wet sand changes 07:32 Delivery is not the same as lifting 08:51 The Hatnub ramp: evidence and limits 10:22 What the evidence actually tells us SOURCES Pierre Tallet, Les papyrus de la mer Rouge I (2017), including Colin Clement's English translation: https://www.ifao.egnet.net/uploads/pu...
