Historians know that large stone blocks can be dragged if logs are placed under them. Is the idea that the Egyptians built the pyramids by rolling stone blocks on log a fact or hypothesis

It is a hypothesis, because historians know about how stone blocks are moved, but they are speculating when it comes to this topic. No one can ever truly say how the pyramids were built.

Answer:

Hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Historians are a group of scientists dedicated to studying history and try to depict history as best the can.

It has been a question that has baffled minds throughout the years, and even today we still have no clear answer. The question of how the Egyptians built the pyramids.

It is one theory that the ancient civilization dragged the large stone blocks over logs. The reason that all speculations about history are considered hypotheses, is because no one can say with 100% certainty what an ancient civilization did, because they were not there to witness it, hence all theories are considered hypotheses.
