The pyramid……> An enigma in stone 
– How were the pyramids built ?

2- Most certainly, the store was quarried , cut into blocks loaded onto sleds runners , or rollers and dragged to the pyramid construction site .
3- once there arose the problem of how to lift these gigantic stones ? 
The most highly credited theory is now that involving ramps

The ramp may have been straight and perpendicular to the pyramid.
4- It took 10 years to make the cause way for the conveyance of the stones It is built of polished stone.
The pyramid it self was 20 years in building and was built in steps .
5- After laying the stones for the base , they raised the remaining stones to their places by means of machines formed of short wooden planks .
6- The first machine raised them from the ground to the top of the first step on this there was another machine which received the stone upon its arrival and conveyed it to the second step .
Whence a third machine advanced it still higher .
Either they had many machines as there were steps in the pyramid.
Or 
They had a single machine , which being easily moved was transferred from tier to tier as the stone rose .
Both accounts are given 
Therefore, mention both.
