Gooday, I'm Gary Stevens.

Welcome to the afterlife of the History in the Bible podcast.

Afterlife Detour episode 4 follow-up on Egyptian Hydraulics.

Hello, happy people.

Another detour episode.

A little while back, Bernie Mayapolski of the fan of history podcast and I

discussed some recent research into the use of hydraulics at the step pyramid of Pharaoh Joseph.

Well, lordy-lody, we received an email from a hydraulic engineer who said that the original

researchers were barking up the wrong tree. Let's see what he had to say.

The first choice you hear is Bernie.

Hope you like it.

I am here with Gary Stevens again because not long ago, we did a nice little what's

new in history episode on, well, we called it Egyptian hydraulics, right?

We talked about could the step pyramid of Josier have possibly been built by aliens? No, not by aliens. By using a hydraulic

system to lift the rocks up. And we had an article on that, and you could check the last episode. It was just a

couple of weeks ago that we did that. And during the

when we recorded that episode, we said, we will keep our eye on this story for you. And we did.

And actually, we got a letter from a listener and that's amazing. And Gary, hello, Gary.

Gary's going to read us a letter. but first he'll say hello, of course.
