Scientists think they may have answered an age-old question about the pyramids

Egypt’s pyramids are still catching the attention of the international press thousands of years after their construction, with a recently published study in Nature arguing that 31 of the country’s ancient monuments were built with the aid of a now disappeared branch of the Nile to transport heavy stone blocks for their construction.

The study was picked up by: BBC | National Geographic | Euronews | Guardian | CNN | Newsweek.
