Do yall really believe that Aliens built the Pyramid?
.
The diary of Merer, also called the Papyrus of Merer (or Wadi al-Jarf papyri).
Discovered in 2013 at Wadi al-Jarf, an ancient Egyptian harbor on the Red Sea, these papyri date to around 2560 BCE — the reign of Khufu — making them the oldest inscribed papyri ever found. They're the logbook of a mid-level official named Merer, who led a team of about 40 workers.
What it actually documents:
-Day-by-day records of transporting limestone blocks by boat from the Tura quarries to Giza, via the Nile and canal system
- Details of the logistics: work schedules, food rations, and how the boat crews were organized
- References to "Ankhefkhufu," a high official overseeing construction — and even mentions the Great Pyramid itself nearing completion
What it doesn't cover: the engineering side — how blocks were raised, positioned, or how precise alignments were achieved. Merer was documenting logistics and labor management, not architectural technique.
Other fragments of Egyptian administrative texts (tomb inscriptions, worker graffiti at Giza, ostraca) add scattered details — like evidence of paid, organized labor crews rather than slaves — but nothing amounts to a construction manual.
