Where did all that water originate?

Maybe denial isn't a river in Egypt, but Da Nile is.

Really, they had to have had water for the workers to drink anyway, so
they likely had enough extra around to set up a few bowl or trough levels.


4000 years ago it was a lush green agricultural paradise. Today's desert
(in the valleys of the pyramids at least) is some combination of natural
events and poor farming, grazing and forest practices ...
