The highest concentration of pyramids in Egypt can be found in a stretch of desert between Giza and the village of Lisht. Satellite images and geological data now confirm that a tributary of the Nile used to run near many of the major sites in the region several thousand years ago.
The discovery of the ancient river branch could help explain why ancient Egyptians chose this area to build the pyramids, as it would have made transporting materials easier.
