How Egypt Built the Pyramid World Wonders - Egyptology Pyramid Construction by Ancient Egyptians
The Great Pyramids of Giza are among the most amazing man-made monuments in history. They were built when Egypt was one of the world's wealthiest and most influential civilizations. The king, or Pharaoh, occupied a unique role in ancient Egyptian civilization, as reflected by their enormous scale. Although the construction of pyramids peaked in the late third dynasty and lasted until about the sixth century B.C., they were actually constructed from the beginning of the Old Kingdom until the end of the Ptolemaic period in the fourth century B.C. (c. 2325 B.C.). The Egyptian pyramids, which still transmit much of their grandeur after more than 4,000 years, offer a window into the nation's illustrious past.

These pyramids impression of Giza Pharoah men's labour was required to build the Great Pyramid, which took 20 years to complete. Given that these guys, who were agricultural labourers, worked on the pyramids mostly when there wasn't much else to do in the fields, that is, when the Nile River was flooded, this estimate is plausible. But by the late 20th century, archaeologists had discovered proof that a smaller crew might have lived there permanently rather than seasonally. So, it was said that 20,000 employees, along with support staff including bakers, doctors, priests, etc., would have been sufficient to complete the job. Three different pharaohs had their royal tombs constructed in the Giza pyramids. The second ruler of the 4th dynasty, Khufu, had the northernmost and oldest pyramid of the group built for him. It is the biggest of the three and is known as the Great Pyramid. Khafre, the fourth of the 4th dynasty's eight monarchs, had the middle pyramid constructed in his honor. Finally, the pyramid of Menkaure, the fifth king of the 4th dynasty, w Khufu and Khafre pyramids.

How the pyramids were constructed. The most likely scenario is that the Egyptians used a sloping and surrounding embankment made of brick, earth, as the pyramid rose and up which, stone blocks were towed using sledges, rollers, and levers. Most Egyptologists agree that ramps are the most practical way to lift the blocks, but they also accept that it is an insufficient solution that needs to be completed by another tool. The Great Pyramid of Giza and other pyramids include archaeological proof of the use of ramps. Levering is the most used technique for aiding ramps. Some historians posit external ramps around the pyramid allowing for blocks to be dragged upwards. Internal ramp enabling bricks to be assembled from the inside out.

However, only small ramps and sloped causeways are found in the archaeological record. Instead of a head-on ramp or an embarkment, the incremental ramping technique sounds more plausible. In this technique, the blocks are ramped incrementally, as in repeatedly prying up alternating sides of the block and inserting wooden or stone shims to gradually move the stone up one course. The internal ramp theory suggests that the blocks were hauled up a short, straight external ramp for the bottom third of the pyramid. At the same time, a second ramp was built inside the pyramid on which blocks for the top two-thirds would be hauled. This ramp, and external ramp had served its purpose. Men hauling heavy blocks of stones up a narrow ramp can't quickly turn a 90-degree corner, so the ramp had openings at each corner where a simple wooden hoist could turn the blocks.

Interestingly, the river Nile also helped in the construction. Nile's bygone Khufu branch was indeed high enough to allow ancient engineers to move enormous stone blocks and construct the magnificent pyramids we know today. All pyramids in Egypt are located on the west coast of the Nile River.
