Water Course of the Ancient Ahramat Branch
Today, 16MAY24, ‘study first author’ Eman Ghoneim, announced the publication of the paper ”The Egyptian pyramid chain was built along the now abandoned Ahramat Nile Branch”. This study describes the architectural ‘siteing’ context of thirty-one (31) Egyptian pyramids, constructed between the Old Kingdom and the Second Intermediate Period (Dynasties 3-13). These ancient structures benefited from the now extinct ‘Ahramat Branch’ waterway of the Nile River.

”Researchers found that this branch, called the "Ahramat" (Arabic for "pyramid"), was about 40 miles (64 kilometers) long and went close to the sites of many pyramids, making it easier to transport materials.
"Many of the pyramids, dating to the Old and Middle Kingdoms, have causeways that lead to the branch and terminate with valley temples which may have acted as river harbors…"
"The enormity of this branch and its proximity to the pyramid complexes, in addition to the fact that the pyramids' causeways terminate at its riverbank, all imply that this branch was active and operational during the construction phase of these pyramids…"”
The paper further identifies the subsidiary ’inlets’ that were utilized to provide proximity access to the various pyramid construction sites, similar to ”She Khufu” at Giza.
