The Pyramid of Djoser might have been built with the help of a hydraulic system that used water to transport stones, indicating advanced engineering in ancient Egypt.
The Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest of Egypt’s iconic pyramids, may have been built with the help of a unique hydraulic lift system. This is according to a study published on August 5, 2024, in the open-access journal by Xavier Landreau from CEA Paleotechnic Institute, France, and colleagues.
The Pyramid of Djoser, also known as the Step Pyramid, is believed to have been built around 2680 BCE as a funerary complex for the Third Dynasty pharaoh Djoser. Yet the exact method of its construction remains unclear. In this new interdisciplinary analysis, researchers suggest that the nearby Gisr el-Mudir enclosure — a previously unexplained structure — may have functioned as a “check dam” to capture water and sediment.
