The secrets behind the construction of the oldest and only survivor of the Seven Wonders of the World have been locked within its limestone and granite walls for centuries.<br />
 But
 now archaeologists believe they have finally uncovered how Egyptians 
were able to lug millions of 2.5 ton blocks 500 miles to create the Great Pyramid of Giza .<br />
 Built
 as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu in about 2,600BC over 20 years, the 481ft 
tall structure was the largest of all the pyramids and was, until the 
Middle Ages, the tallest man-made construction on Earth.<br />
<br />
 Historians
 have long argued how 800 tonnes of material was transported some 533 
miles to Giza from Aswan every day by thousands of skilled workers.<br />
 Now the discovery of an ancient papyrus, a ceremonial boat, and a system of waterworks could finally put an end to the debate.<br />

New evidence reveals thousands of labourers transported 170,000 
tonnes of limestone along the Nile in wooden boats, held together by 
ropes, through a specially constructed system of canals.<br />
 The
 ancient scroll was discovered in the seaport Wadi Al-Jarf and it has 
given a new insight into how boats and water were used in the pyramid’s 
construction.<br />
 Written by an overseer named Merer, it reveals some
 2.3 million blocks were ferried to an inland port built just yards away
 from the base of the pyramid.<br />
 Mercer was believed to have been 
in charge of a team of 40 workmen and the scroll is the only firsthand 
account on record of how the pyramids were built.<br />

It describes in detail how the limestone casing stones were shipped downstream from Tura to Giza.<br />
 Archaeologist Mark Lehner, an Eygptologist, has also discovered a lost waterway underneath the plateau the pyramid sits upon.<br />
"We've outlined the central canal basin, which we think was the primary delivery area to the foot of the Giza Plateau," he said.<br />
 The new discoveries were revealed in Channel 4 documentary Egypt’s Great Pyramid: The New Evidence last night. <br />
 The
 documentary included another team of archaeologists who unearthed a 
ceremonial vessel designed for Khufu to command in the afterlife and 
gave new insights into the construction of boats at the time.<br />
 A team of specialists restored the wooden structure before scanning them with a 3D laser to work out how they were assembled. <br />
 The archaeologists discovered that the planks of wood were sewn together with loops of rope.<br />
