How did Ancient Egyptians Move massive stones
The Ancient Egyptians employed several sophisticated methods to move massive stones, which were essential for constructing their monumental architecture like pyramids and temples. Some of these methods include:
Sledges: They used wooden sledges to drag stones across the desert sands. This was often facilitated by wetting the sand to reduce friction.
Levers and Ramps: They likely used ramps to elevate stones to higher levels. These could be straight, spiral, or even zig-zag ramps. Levers would help in moving the stones onto the sledges or ramps.
Manpower: Large numbers of laborers would pull or push the stones, sometimes aided by animals like oxen for heavier loads.
Water Transport: For quarries near the Nile, stones might have been floated on barges to the construction site.#EgyptianEngineering
