Greens Stun Labour in Historic Gorton & Denton Upset

  The Green Party's Hannah Spencer joyous after the results of the Gorton and Denton by-election were announced Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been dealt a significant political setback after the Green Party captured Gorton and Denton, a Greater Manchester seat Labour had held for nearly a century.

Ancient Egyptian Superhighway: The Ahramat River’s Role in Pyramid Construction

 

For centuries, the construction of Egypt’s majestic pyramids has been shrouded in mystery, with numerous theories attempting to explain how these ancient wonders were built. Now, a groundbreaking discovery may hold the key to this age-old question.

  • The Ahramat River: Researchers have uncovered a lost branch of the Nile, named Ahramat, which they believe was instrumental in transporting materials for pyramid construction.
  • Transportation of Materials: The river, running alongside 31 pyramids, was likely used to float massive stone blocks, some weighing over a ton, from distant quarries to the construction sites.
  • Technological Breakthrough: The discovery was made possible through radar satellite imagery, enabling scientists to identify buried rivers and structures beneath the desert sands.
  • Impact on Pyramid Placement: The study suggests that the positioning of pyramids farther east during Egypt’s Middle Kingdom era was due to the migration of the Ahramat waterway since the Old Kingdom era.

This revelation not only demystifies the construction process of the pyramids but also provides insight into the sophisticated infrastructure and planning capabilities of ancient Egyptian civilization.
