d) On the orders of Thutmose III.

Answer 1

a) Most likely by moving the stones with sleds up massive ramps.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Great Pyramid was built for Pharaoh Khufu during the 4th dynasty, so approximately around 2560 BC. The purpose of the building was as the tomb for the pharaoh. It is the oldest and largest pyramid of all three that stand in Giza.

One of the biggest archeological questions has been how did Egyptians manage to construct the pyramids at the time. The newest discoveries claim that they have likely used ramps to roll up the stones. They would use a sled attached with rope to wooden posts of the ramp to pull up the massive stone blocks. The sled with the stone would be pulled and pushed over the ramp until it would reach the destination place. Workers who pulled the ropes would stand on the stairs surrounding the ramp.
