Philip travels to ancient Egypt and sees a crew struggling with a giant statue. Then he notices a worker pouring water on the sand. A 2014 study in Physical Review Letters (“Sliding Friction on Wet and Dry Sand,” led by Daniel Bonn) found that the right amount of water can cut the pulling force by up to half. Historians also debate whether the pouring in the Djehutihotep tomb painting was practical, ritual, or both.
