How did they get the stone blocks to the pyramids and where did they bring them too?

Most of the stone blocks are limestone cut from quarries close the pyramid site. Once the blocks quarried they were lowered by means of levers and ropes onto sledges. Gangs of about 20 naked slaves dragged the sledge along a causeway laid with planks. Water or oil was poured in front of the blades of the sledge to help them slide more easily.
The blocks went one of two places: the workshops of the masons for further finishing or directly up a ramp to the level where the blocks were being laid. Only a small fraction of blocks went to the masons. These required accurate trimming to maintain the precise alignment of the pyramid.
