HOW THEY BUILT THE PYRAMIDS
We have spent so many years looking at how they made those darn pyramids. We build elaborate rolling systems "wheels" and ramps to show how they did it. Well here's the answer to an age old mystery.
The pyramids were built using a canal system. Look at the evidence. The Egyptians invented the pump. They also built amazing water and sewage systems.
"Canals have a very long history, with the earliest example of one being dated to 4000 B.C."

It would have been very stupid of those smart Egyptians to float those huge rocks down the Nile then unload them only to drag them 100's of yards to their final resting place. They simply build a canal with the early stones all the way to the top. Pumping water into the rising channels to raise the stone to the top, float it into place unload onto a pile of sand shuffle into place and washout the rest of the sand.
The canals did not hold the water all the time, they were only flooded when moving blocks. The dimensions of the lift channels were only 60ft by 20ft and were built like steps up the side of the structure as it was built. The pumps worked all the time to move water to the top of the structure and the water was dropped down to flood the channels as the block was moved up.
The reason the canal isn't still there is that they used the canal stones at the top for pure economy of time. They were smart! And we are still trying to figure out how so few people (according to the evidence) build such huge pyramids in such a short period of time. Using the wheel they couldn't! Still stuck on the wheel theory?
There is clear evidence which I'll be happy to provide
I would like anyone interested to join the team in helping to unfolding the truth.
Considerations
In many hieroglyphics there are images of small boats being punted.
Boots were often buried with the key architects and builders.
The Egyptians were masters of water.
Site is close to major source of water.
Egyptians were real smart
