    Also, they recently discovered a written record from a crew that was transporting some of the stone by boat using artificial waterways that were dug near Giza and filled during the yearly flood of the Nile.

        I think this is the one, the Merer diary about Akhet Khufu (their name for the pyramid) and the transport of stones by boat from known quarries.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diary_of_Merer

        The diary was found a good decade ago, it’s not even recent. This particular diary anyway, I don’t know about more recent discoveries about the waterways. I mean, beside OP’s article.
