How to use Egyptian Pontoon Ferrys?

[Herr Straße Laufer]

Hello Eric:

I'm assuming with Egyptians?

Dan, that is funny!
Problem for the designer of the scenario is that he did not know how to reproduce what the Egyptians did.
The Egyptians brought in pumps and hosed the sand berms down, creating shallows from which to construct their bridges and run ferries.
The Suez does not have shallows which is what the designer kept. Creating the artificial/man made shallows would have made sense. Adding marshes is what was done.

Maybe a new feature for the engineers would be to create shallows near deep water? (j)
If I only had a hose, water, and a pump?
