Question

How do you think the pryamids were made?

Answer 1

they were built by some very clever people, to be able to cut and move the stones, with no iron tools was a magnificent feat.  Any one who suggests aliens if full of it, if aliens had come to earth 3000 or 4000 years ago why didn't they give us technologies like electricity, and electronics.

They were created by ordinary human beings who were very resourceful.

Answer 2

ropes, pulleys and man-power

Answer 3

through the man power of the Hebrew slaves by using bricks (made out of straw) and other materials

Answer 4

israel slaves.

Answer 5

No slaves actually worked on the pyramid.  

Answer 6

I read a book about the theory that the Egyptian pyramids were made of cast stone, an early form of concrete.  I have to admit after reading the book that the guy made a good argument for this theory and it goes a long way to explane a lot of the questions as to how they could have managed to build the pyramids with the most often prescribed method of cutting and stacking over two and a half million blocks.  The author showed where some pyramid blocks show signs of settling of the different layers that could only have occured if the block had been poured rather than carved.  Small microscopic shells in the stone have settled in layers that is not present in the stone where the material was supposidly carved out of.

The cast stone method would not have been beyond the capabilities of the times and goes a long way to explane how they managed to keep the vast project level until completion.  Gravity would have ensured that when hardened, each stone block would have had a perfectly level top. surface.   Gettin all those stones perfectly level layer after layer would have been very difficult with copper tools or any stone cutting method that was used in that day. The book goes on to say that pits were dug out near the pyramid site and limstone, water and other minerals were combined  and then sent to the construction site by workers carrying slurry in buckets made of animal hide.  One thing they had was plenty of manpower.  Once a block was cast, it was left in place to dry out before the form was taken off and reused.  Casting of stones would have been taken place all over different parts of the site.  

.

The Egyptians made vases of carved stone that have a neck so thin that it would not have been possible to make them any other way than casting as we do today with ceramics.

Answer 7

They were built using large numbers of human beings. Building a pyramid isn't all that difficult, if you have enough people to work for you.  All you require is enough manpower.

They were not Israeli slaves however.  According to historians, pyramids were mostly built by peasants who were required to do a certain amount of compulsory service as builders.  They probably didn't enjoy it much, but they were not slaves.  Also the period when the Israelis were thought to have been slaves in Egypt is much, much later, in the New Kingdom, about a thousand years after the time the pyramids were built.

Answer 8

Depending on which pyramids your talking about...the specifics vary. But Altogether, Nothing special...it was built out of the human spirit...too sustain pain and pressure to do what you believe must be done...

Like the other guy said...ropes, pulleys, and muscle.

Answer 9

Sheer will power. There's a lot of evidence to say that no slaves were involved in the building of the pyramids; that it was basically the bulk of society pulling together to accomplish an incredible feat of engineering. Ropes, pulleys, wooden sledges etc. People forget that machinery is a new concept, people were ingenious without it for thousands of years. They had quarrys for the stone etc, man power is all that was needed.
