Ancient Engineering: Water Technology May Have Helped Build Egypt’s Step Pyramid of Djoser

Egypt’s first pyramid constructed using a hydraulic lift, study says

A team of engineers suggests a new theory on how Egypt’s first pyramid was built — a water elevator used to float heavy stones through the middle of the structure.

How did ancient Egyptians stack those heavy stones of the oldest pyramid? Scientists float new theory

By Taylor Nicioli, CNN (CNN) — For years, Egyptologists have hotly debated how the massive pyramids of ancient Egypt were built more than 4,000 years ago. Now, a team of engineers and geologists brings a new theory to the table — a hydraulic lift device that would have floated the heavy stones up through the middle of Egypt’s oldest pyramid using stored water. Ancient Egyptians built the Step Pyramid for Pharaoh Djoser in the 27th century BC, an…

Hydraulic lift technology may have helped build Egypt's iconic Pyramid of Djoser

The Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest of Egypt's iconic pyramids, may have been built with the help of a unique hydraulic lift system, according to a study published August 5, 2024, in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Xavier Landreau from CEA Paleotechnic Institute, France, and colleagues.
