Papyrus in ancient Egyptian libraries
Ancient Egypt is a country full of mystery and danger. We have seen it in many movies and TV series. Many explorers explored the pyramids and Pharaoh's tombs, but few people eventually died or went crazy. No one can tell the secret anyway. But in reality, our exploration of ancient Egypt is not enough. Many secrets inside are difficult to solve, such as how the pyramids were built, how the mummies were formed, what the Sphinx stands for, and so on. So far, it's hard to see through, but we have to.

After the death of ancient Egypt for thousands of years, human exploration of ancient Egypt has never stopped, such as how the pyramids were built and what is their principle? However, it is wrapped around our heads like a mystery. If the ancient technology did not reach the present technology, why can't the mystery of ancient Egypt be solved? It can be seen that the wisdom of the ancient Egyptians is high enough to surpass our present people. How did they pile up an average of 2.5 tons of boulders into a pyramid of the civilized world for thousands of years? Anyway, there are no cranes, which has become a mystery to many scholars!

However, in 20 13, an ancient Egyptian archaeologist found a record that shocked the world in a port on the Red Sea. This record is a diary on papyrus, an important writing carrier in ancient Egypt, and this great discovery will also preliminarily solve the mystery of pyramid construction in ancient Egypt. Mailer, the owner of this diary, participated in the construction of pyramid of khufu, the largest pyramid in the world. According to records, this 136.5-meter-high pyramid of khufu is made up of 2.3 million huge stones weighing several tons, each of which is difficult to insert even a blade.

This pyramid of khufu is also the only octagonal pyramid among all the pyramids in the same period. From the description, we can see that pyramid of khufu's construction technology is so exquisite that it is difficult to build now, which has a new problem. The construction of this pyramid should not have appeared in ancient Egypt, which did not conform to the productivity of that era, and the people who built this pyramid became a mystery. In recent years, there have been many speculations about the identity of the pyramid builders.

It was not until Mailer was discovered that the mystery was finally solved, and it was determined that the builders of the pyramids were highly intelligent ancient Egyptians. In his diary, papyrus with hieroglyphics clearly records that ancient Egypt transported these tons of stones from Tula to Giza 500 miles away by digging an artificial river. According to the deduction of scholars, it is: "It takes three days to dig an artificial river between the inland port of the Nile and pyramid of khufu and transport it to its destination by boat. Although it will take a long time, it is very expensive to transport so many tons of stones under that condition. It's good to think of such a method. It's really rare! "

In addition to this tourist diary, many archaeologists have found traces of water and the remains of ships and humans near pyramid of khufu, which means that the pyramids were built by water, but how the pyramids were piled up and transported is still a mystery.
