How Were the Pyramids Built?

Labor Force: Thousands of workers, including skilled laborers, engineers, and laborers, likely worked on the pyramids.

Stone Quarrying: Massive stone blocks, often weighing several tons, were cut from quarries, mainly limestone or granite. 

Transportation Techniques: The workers likely used ramps—either straight, zig-zagging, or spiral ramps—constructed alongside or around the pyramid to move the heavy blocks up as the structure grew.

Mathematical Precision: The pyramids were built with incredible mathematical precision. Ancient Egyptians used simple tools like plumb bobs

Alignment to Stars: The Great Pyramid of Giza, for instance, is aligned with incredible precision to the cardinal points.

Workforce Organization: Workers lived in nearby temporary workers’ villages. They worked in rotating shifts and were provided food and shelter. 

A large team would manage different aspects of construction, from quarrying to logistics.
