Question

How did the Egyptians build the Great Pyramids of Giza? Explain a paragraph about a theory.

Answer 1

The ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote that it took 20 years to build and required the labor of 100,000 men, but later archaeological evidence suggests that the workforce might actually have been around 20,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the earliest period, pyramids were constructed wholly of stone. Locally quarried limestone was the material of choice for the main body of these pyramids, while a higher quality of limestone quarried at Tura (near modern Cairo) was used for the outer casing.

Answer 2

The Egyptians used tools such as big sleds to transport the bricks of the pyramids. Another theory is that workers poured the excavated area with water and leveled all the content just above the waterline. They then lowered the water level and removed more material, repeating the process until the level of the base.

Hopefully, this helps! :D
