This road in front of you once witnessed the transport of a 60-ton statue.
It is the Hatnub road, the same route along which the statue of Djehutihotep was moved during the Middle Kingdom of Egypt.
The famous scene of dragging the statue was discovered painted inside the tomb of Djehutihotep — I’ll leave it for you in the first comment.
So where was the statue moved from and to?
It was transported from the quarries of Hatnub to El Bersha, a distance of about 27 kilometers.
If you look closely at the scene of the transport, you will notice 172 workers pulling the statue by dragging it. The statue was placed on a wooden sled, and ropes were tied around the arm, across the chest and knees, and around the sled itself. They even secured the statue carefully to prevent it from tilting or falling to either side. They also considered the friction between the ropes and the statue, placing cloth underneath the ropes to protect the statue from damage or scratches.
You can see four rows of workers. Each row contains 21 pairs — meaning 42 men pulling together. At the front stands their leader, carrying the end of the rope over his shoulder. Standing near the statue’s knees is another supervisor clapping his hands rhythmically to coordinate the workers’ movement so that no one pulls ahead of the others — or perhaps simply to motivate them.
On the base of the statue, you will notice a very important figure. According to Dr. Ahmed Fakhry, this man is pouring milk onto the ground because the fat in the milk acted as a lubricant between the ground and the wooden sled, helping it slide more easily.

It's also mentioned in the description, that a man of these chosen ones equals 1000 or normal man.

Could you imagine gazing upon the face of a king who walked the Earth over three millennia ago, his features astonishingly preserved, almost as if he merely sleeps? Such is the captivating reality of King Seti I, whose mummy stands as one of the most remarkably intact human remains in Egyptian history. His very name, "Seti," meaning "Belonging to the god Set," hints at the profound religious and cultural context of his reign.

Seti I ruled Egypt at the zenith of its power, a period of grandeur and prosperity that saw significant military campaigns and monumental building projects. He passed away approximately 3,298 years ago, leaving behind a monumental legacy, most notably as the father of one of ancient Egypt's most celebrated pharaohs, Ramses II, often referred to as Ramses the Great. The era of Seti I also marked a peak in the sophisticated art of mummification. His preservation exemplifies the meticulous techniques of the New Kingdom, showcasing an advanced understanding of embalming.

Upon viewing his mummy, some observers are struck by its dark, almost black coloration and might mistakenly believe it was subjected to burning. However, this distinctive hue is a fascinating result of the chemical interaction between certain embalming materials and the body itself. Specifically, the use of **natron salt**, a naturally occurring mineral compound crucial to the mummification process, played a significant role. Natron contains various substances, including compounds that efficiently absorb fluids from the body and others that facilitate the formation of cells capable of inhibiting bacterial growth. It is this complex interaction, rather than charring, that imparted the dark, preserved appearance to his skin. While mummification techniques continued to evolve through subsequent dynasties, with the 21st Dynasty even seeing mummies painted to resemble natural skin tones, Seti I's mummy remains an unparalleled example of the artistry and scientific understanding of ancient Egyptian embalmers, widely regarded as one of the most perfectly preserved mummies ever discovered.
