An international team of researchers said in June that they had discovered a 3,000-year-old hydraulic system in Egypt’s Nile Valley.
This ancient engineering structure predates what was originally thought to be the world’s oldest hydraulic power system on the Yellow River in China by about 2,500 years. according to To the research team at the University of Western Australia (UWA). The team mapped over 1,083 miles of the Nile Valley and determined the nature of the construction schedule, who built the systems and why they were needed.
The findings suggest highly interconnected civilizations across the region of North Africa. The data also correlates with 200-year-old map archives and aerial photographs of the area, some of which were taken by him in 1934.

Parts of the structure existed on a portion of the Nile River that had been stagnant for centuries due to historical climate change, and the general design was still part of Nubia, Sudan in the 1970s. was still in use.
“This incredibly long-lived hydropower technology will enable communities to grow food and thrive in Nubia’s challenging terrain for more than 3,000 years,” said lead author Dr. Matthew Dalton, UWA’s Department of Humanities. It played an important role in making sure that (Related: Mayan ‘superhighway’ suggests we need to rethink how advanced our ancestors really were)
The research contributes to a growing body of evidence suggesting that earlier civilizations were much more advanced and complex than we are recently led to believe.
