Pure mans labour on mass each stone was cut from solid rock and shipped down the nile from the Euphrates on Dow's, they were then dragged physically on sleds to the site ,sand was banked up as the pyramid got higher and the blocks were dragged up the sand banks and into position !. When they were started the people came to the site rejoicing to be building a pyramid for there god , later as years went by they were made into slaves and driven to work with whips !. Many thousands died by the time they were finished!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ok i am an Egypgionologist and this is how they built them:

After choosing a location they would level it then make alot of lines across the sqaure then they will fill it in with a type of concrete then they start to build it up with sand stone and lime stone when it gets to lvl 2 they start to build a hill going around it and dragging the blocks up this mud ramp and place them then finally the remove the dirt and get arkitects to smooth it out!.

Well!.!.!. there are a lot of pyramids in Egypt!. The three main ones in Giza, the ones at a 52 degree angle were there before the Egyptians!. All of the others are at 45 degrees!.

It was IMPOSSIBLE for them to build!. Unless they had technology we have not been told about!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I go with the theory,that they used molds to form bricks in situ!.
Modern experiments using the 'rolling a large brick' method,resulted in logistic problems when raising large bricks over a certain height!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It (Pyramid of Giza) did take 20-ish years to build!.!.!.but they DID pay their slaves with food and shelter!.

also, they dug out the storage and tomb chambers before building the pyramid on top of them!.

Well the empires sent thousands and thousands slaves to go and build a prymid for about 20 years!. The prymids were built so that when the empires died they would be in the pryimd!.

They built the pyramids one brick at a time!. They rolled the bricks with logs to get them up the place were they belonged!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

they needed affordable housing and jobs for all the immigrants slaves that were swamping the nile region, so they started a YTS on bricklaying and it sort of got out of handWww@QuestionHome@Com
