While it makes sense that it would make it easier to transport materials via the river. It does not make sense in context of pyramids purpose were tombs where they should be away from places where people usually live. Specially that even at this point of history, looting tombs was a common occurring problem. So with these mega projects, you would think that moving them away would make sense although making it much harder. Easier to think that they made a canal to deliver fresh water for the project from the nearest location of the nile which is a couple of Kilometers aways (~ 8 km).
