"The largest field of pyramids in Egypt – consisting of 31 pyramids built over
a millennium, including the famous Great Pyramid at Giza – lies along a narrow
strip of land in the desert several kilometres west of the Nile River.
The Nile was at the heart of ancient Egyptian civilisation, and the location of
so many pyramids some distance away from the river has until now not been fully
explained.
In a new study published in
Communications Earth & Environment, we addressed
this puzzle. When the pyramids were built they sat next to a now-vanished
branch of the Nile, which likely provided transport for workers and their
materials."
