    The stone used to build the pyramids was mainly limestone and granite, and the quarries were located along the Nile River. The stone was mined by drilling and expanding: a copper chisel (no iron tools at the time) was punched, then a dry wooden wedge was stuffed, and water was poured over the wooden wedge to crack the rock with the help of tension.

    Once the stones have been mined, they are usually processed on site and then transported by boat to the riverbank close to the construction site. To transport boulders on land, the ancient Egyptians mainly used wooden skids, with long drawstrings tied to the front, which were dragged by people or oxen. In order to reduce the friction between the wooden skid and the ground, wet mud from the Nile River or some kind of grease is thrown in front of it to lubricate.

    Last night I dreamed about this problem, saying that it was the appearance of painting bricks on the outside of the mountain, but it was actually a mountain itself.

    The joints between the stones are tight. The Pyramid of Khufu Project The towers of the mighty Pyramid of Khufu are composed of 2.3 million huge stones of various sizes, and there are still many unsolved mysteries, and its construction involves surveying, which is called the greatest stone building in human history, physics and mathematics, and other fields, with a fine structure, mechanics, each weighing between 1 5 tons and 160 tons, astronomy. If these stones are hewn into small pieces with an average of one cubic foot and arranged in rows, the length of which is equivalent to the circumference of the earth is 2 3, without any binder.

    The construction of the Egyptian pyramid was carried by the ancient Egyptian slaves with the help of animal power and rolling wood, the boulders were transported to the construction site, the natural sand around the site was piled into an inclined plane, and the boulders were pulled up the pyramid along the inclined plane, so that a layer of slopes was piled up, a layer of stones was built, and gradually raised into a pyramid.

    How the pyramids of Egypt were built

    The Egyptian pyramids are the tombs of the emperors and pharaohs of ancient Egypt and are one of the eight architectural wonders of the world.

    The Red Pyramid is another pyramid built by Pharaoh Safro near the Curved Pyramid, and it is the oldest, "real" pyramid in Egypt.

    The Pyramid of Khufu was built over a period of 20 years, by building long ramps so that workers could carry the stones further to higher ground. The laborers used the natural sand of Giza, glued with gypsum and plaster, and piled up long slopes to pull the boulders up the pyramids.
