minus-squareUruanna@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-26 months agoI think this is the one, the Merer diary about Akhet Khufu (their name for the pyramid) and the transport of stones by boat from known quarries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diary_of_Merer The diary was found a good decade ago, it’s not even recent. This particular diary anyway, I don’t know about more recent discoveries about the waterways. I mean, beside OP’s article.
