Theory on how Egyptian pyramids were built

    Though it was impossible to transport massive blocks when building these pyramids, would it not make more sense that blocks of clay were formed and shaped (one or more at a time), waited to dry and hardened, then continue with the next one or two blocks?

    Wasn't this how the egyptians made anything? (clay and so forth?)

    Stonhenge? Easter Island? Goblekki Tepe?

    -

    Efficient lifting and moving of very heavy objects is made easy with application of booms, wheels (including pulleys) and sufficient rope. Otherwise impossible feats of engineering are conquered with infinite configurations of these three tools.

    With these tools intelligently configured, a single child could lift a multi-ton stone up and onto one of Egypt’s majestic pyramids.

    right, but wouldn't it be easier to transport wet clay and mold it as it dried to form a pyramid?

    The blocks are monolithic, solid stone, not bricks.

    Next question.....

    solid stone, you mean as in carved out of some nearby mountain and transported?
