Yes. It's entirely possible they made longer ropes and it's hardly impossible they could have passed joined ropes over devices to redirect them.

But there are no known ropes from those days over 100'. They obviously preferred shorter ropes. This fact is part of the reason I reverse engineered it the way I did but as any Egyptologist will tell you any or every fact might be a red herring and wholly irrelevant. So long as we stick as close to the evidence as practicable we can't go too >far wrong.


OMG, they daisy chained the ropes together. It is not difficult to interlace ropes, and/or use a cinch knot, loops, ect. They would not wait on the girls to make one long rope. It's preferable to have smaller sections tied together, as if one section fails, it is replaced, without replacing the entire long rope...

There would be no evidence for a 100 foot rope, as they disassembled the ropes as needed with new rope, and used the older rope, with their fishing boats, or some other application.
