Ancient Egyptians may have built a massive dam near the Red Pyramid

The Egyptians build the pyramids, we might also say that they build a major dam. It is situated neart the Red Pyramid. According to evolutionists ancient people could not achieve so great feats.

Two large structures near the Red Pyramid in Egypt may be the remnants of an ancient dam, which would be one of the oldest major dams ever built. The work suggests a level of technical sophistication and that wasn’t previously expected of the engineers of the earliest pyramids. 

To further investigate the structures, Xavier Landreau at Paleotechnic, a private research institute in France, and his colleagues used satellite imagery, historical maps, topographical modelling and watershed analysis. Their results clearly outlined the features and how they fit the surrounding landscape, showing they each measured around 600 to 700 metres long, 15 to 30 m wide and 6 or 7 m tall, and are separated by about 200 m. Their arrangement within the downward sloping valley seems to suggest they are remnants of a large and ancient dam. 

“They would probably not have looked like modern concrete dams,” says Landreau. “They were more likely very broad embankments made of earth, marl, rubble and stone, possibly with stone protection on surfaces exposed to flowing water.”
