I am an Egyptian, I read about this years ago. But maybe they didn't have a solid proof back then.

Thank you. I too remember reading about this years ago. I even checked the date of the paper to see if it was from years ago.

Yeah, I photographed this story for the Smithsonian. It was talking about how the stones were transferred by boat from near Tora to Saqqara.

The water came most of the way up to the now seasonal lake near the pyramids there.

But also the river used to flood so there were some seasons when the water was high enough to easily transport the stone directly from Tora I assume.

When I first visited Egypt about 20 years ago, our guide reported this as common knowledge.
