Were The Pyramids Built With Hydraulics?

Recent research suggests that the ancient Egyptians may have used a hydraulic lift system to construct the pyramids.

By analyzing satellite imagery, geospatial data, and watershed information, researchers hypothesize that a previously unexplained structure near the Step Pyramid of Djoser could have been part of a water-based lifting mechanism.

This system might have allowed workers to transport heavy stone blocks more efficiently by utilizing water pressure to elevate them.

This theory challenges the traditional belief that ramps were the primary method for moving these massive stones.
