Ramps Near Egypt's Red Pyramid Might Actually Be Ancient Dams The discovery of two linear structures near Egypt's Red Pyramid has long been attributed to being ramps used for moving stones during construction.
However, a new analysis suggests that these "ramps" might be something entirely different – large dams built by the ancient Egyptians to supply water to the construction site.
This reinterpretation is significant because it challenges our understanding of how ancient civilizations approached large scale engineering projects.
