THE Egyptian Pyramid's may have been intended to tower above a lush, green stretch along the river Nile amid the arid western Sahara.Roughly 4,700 years after construction on these ancient wonders first began, scientists from Egypt's Tanta University may have solved this mystery over the the pyramid's placement.
This branch of the Nile would have stretched the greenery that flourishes beside the primary channel out into the sands. "The Egyptian pyramid fields between Giza and Lisht, built over a nearly 1,000-year period starting approximately 4,700 years ago, now sit on the edge of the inhospitable Western Desert, part of the Sahara," research write.
Researchers found that many of the pyramids had causeways which ended at the proposed riverbanks of the Ahramat branch.
