How did the egyptians get a stop stone on a pyramid?

Question: How did the egyptians get a stop stone on a pyramid!?

the sides are so precise they couldnt climb it,

they couldnt have a guy get up there and put it up there and jump, cuz where would he stand!?

they couldnt make a slope because it would slide, and it the rested it on the top flat part, once they get the gold peice it would slip and the person would fall to there death (the slope and height would make the speed and impact of the ground deadly)

how do they do they put the top gold peice on!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some say that if the top stone was two that were leaning against one another, they used sand to support them and then drained the sand from the bottom, allowing the two top pieces to fall into place!.

Others speculate that a earthen ramp was built on one side to haul up the stones and that would be how the top stone would have been put into place!. But, I believe the top stone would have been two or more leaning against one another for support!. So, a combination of the two methods may have been used!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They used ramps as the pyramids grew!. As they got higher, the ramp got bigger!. Once the entire pyramid was finished except the top, they would climb up the ramps and put the top stone on!. And then they would start coating it with the limestone and polishing it starting at the top!. As they worked there way down, they would take down the ramps and scaffoldings until they got to the bottom!.

Nothing is fact in this case, this is simply an opinion that has no possible way of being proven!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It was capped before the facing was done!. Then, starting at the top, limestone facing was put on and polished!. Working down to the bottom of the structure!. As they moved down, they removed the scaffolding and ramps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
