With such a fantastical past, it has long been debated how those pyramids were built without the help of modern technology. Over the years, it has been conjectured that ancient Egyptians carried large hand-carved rocks up massive ramps to set them in place, but that doesn’t explain how these enormous limestone blocks were transported to the Giza plateau in the first place.

However, in 2017, archaeologists made a fascinating new discovery: a papyrus scroll that finally explains how the building materials for the pyramids were brought from far away.\n
