An archaeological team led by Mark Lenher found that the pharaohs came with stones of the pyramids, each weighing 2.5 tons of limestone and flint, from places about 500 miles to the construction of the pyramid of Pharaonic king Khufu around 2600 BC.
Scientists uncovered new secrets about the process of building Khufu's pyramid after finding an ancient papyrus in a valley
"The shelf", and the importance of the discovery that the pyramid of Khufu, height of 481 feet, and is the largest pyramids, and remained until the Middle Ages the largest structure made by man on the ground.
It was found that the Pharaohs used to build the pyramids network of water channels that flowed from the Nile to the site of the construction of the pyramid Khufu, where there were private boats to transport stones.
Thousands of trained workers transported 170,000 tons of limestone through the Nile River using wooden boats after tying them together. He discovered evidence of a watercourse under the Giza pyramids, believed to have been the primary delivery area.
It is noteworthy that the papyrus discovered included a diary written by a supervisor in the team building the pyramid listed the details of the transfer of stones from the area of Tora* to Giza*
