Image Credit: Wirestock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMerer’s Diary offers valuable information on the transportation of stone blocks for the construction of the Giza Pyramids through water canals and boats. However, not everyone is convinced with the information recovered from Merer’s diary. According to some independent researchers, it leaves unanswered questions on whether these boats were capable of maneuvering the largest stones used, casting doubt on their practicality. Additionally, the diary fails to detail the precise method employed by ancient workers to assemble and fit these massive stones together, leaving the mechanics behind the creation of these monumental structures largely shrouded in mystery.<\/p>\n
Is it possible that Merer, the ancient Egyptian official mentioned in the texts and logbooks, hid or manipulated information about the actual construction process of the Giza Pyramids? Throughout history, ancient texts and writings have frequently been manipulated, exaggerated, or degraded by authors under the influence of authorities and reigns. On the other side, many civilizations tried to keep their construction methods and architectural techniques secret from competing kingdoms. Therefore, it wouldn’t be surprising if Merer or others involved in the construction of the monument distorted the truth or deliberately concealed certain aspects to maintain a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n
Between the existence and non-existence of super advanced technology or ancient giants, the discovery of Merer’s Diary remains truly remarkable in unraveling the secrets of ancient Egypt and the enigmatic minds of its inhabitants.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
