A team of engineers suggests a new theory on how Egypt’s first pyramid was built — a water elevator used to float heavy stones through the middle of the structure.
Baines told Ars that he was “agnostic to skeptical” about the hydraulic lift hypothesis presented by Landreau et al., although he felt it was more solid than prior, shakier claims.
Waterpower may have given a big lift to builders of Egypt’s oldest known pyramid, the nearly 4,700-year-old Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara. Ancient architects built a hydraulic system for ...
Because the pyramid sits near a long-gone branch of the Nile River, researchers hypothesize that the ancient Egyptians utilized the water source to build the 204-foot-tall (62 m) pyramid by ...
A study suggests that the first of seven key pyramids in Egypt, the Step Pyramid of Djoser, was built using a hydraulic lift. Dated to about 4,500 years ago, this would move up the introduction of ...
