Answer: The most plausible one is that the Egyptians employed a sloping and encircling embankment of brick, earth, and sand, which was increased in height and length as the pyramid rose; stone blocks were hauled up the ramp by means of sledges, rollers, and levers.

Explanation: Evidence suggests that the blocks were first levered onto wooden sleds and then hauled up ramps made of sand
