Stone walls uncovered along the Nile reveal ancient engineering marvel

An international team of researchers has revealed a groundbreaking discovery along the banks of the River Nile in Egypt and Sudan.

This incredibly long-lived hydraulic technology played a crucial role in enabling communities to grow food and thrive in the challenging landscapes of Nubia for over 3000 years.

Their findings shed light on an extraordinary network of river groynes — stone walls built perpendicular to a river bank intended to break water flow and sediment erosion.
