Exactly how the Pyramids of Giza were built was an archaeological mystery, as it seemed so miraculous that theories about extraterrestrials have been ingrained in people's minds and the reason is that the stones of the Pyramid weigh at least two tons. The researchers studied five sediment samples extracted from the Giza Flood Plain in 2019 to analyze "patterns of pollen-derived vegetation" and "reconstruct 8,000-year-old riverine history of the Nile in this area." By combining this work with previous studies in the rock layers around the Pyramids, archaeologists have concluded that there was a tributary from the Nile River that reached the Pyramids with a high water level during the reigns of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure. "When I read about it, I was very interested because this confirms that the materials for the Pyramid's construction were transported over water," Shisha told The Times. The land dried up completely, leaving behind a mystery that may now be closer to being solved.
