Official work at Hawara has exposed a megalithic wall near Amenemhat III’s pyramid. The video says the wall lay where satellite scans predicted and argues that this validates its scanning method. Drainage is a major challenge after a 19th-century canal and a modern dam changed the water table. The multi-year Labyrinth project aims to conserve the complex and develop it as a major Egyptian tourism destination.
