New Study Proposes Hydraulic Lift System in Ancient Pyramid Construction

Researchers suggest water-powered technology may have played a crucial role in building Egypt's oldest pyramid, sparking debate among experts.

  • The Step Pyramid of Djoser, built around 2680 BCE, may have used a hydraulic lift system to move massive stones.
  • The proposed system involved water flowing into shafts, lifting stones through a central mechanism.
  • Evidence suggests a network of dams and water treatment facilities supported the hydraulic system.
  • Skeptics argue there is insufficient evidence to confirm the use of such advanced technology.
  • Further research is needed to understand the feasibility and historical accuracy of this theory.
