That's one theory. Putting aside the UFOs lifted them into place proposal, there are suggestions that the stones were placed using one or more options. These may have been:
* levers and pulleys * rollers
* pivot stones and rocked forward
* an early cement and cast in place * installing round sides on the stones for final positioning

∙ 13y agoYes, ancient Egyptians used a step-walking pulley having a mechanical advantage of 2.8 to construct their Giza Pyramids.
Let common sense prevail and it becomes self evident that a pyramid throughout the course of its construction can be utilised in a progressive way to raise the blocks required to build it.
Google search haitheory (dot com) for the complete answer in detail which is also in complete accordance with ancient Egyptian historical records.

∙ 9y agoPulleys and levers were used to transport and move materials when building the pyramids. These systems would raise materials off of the ground.

What single factor made construction of the pyramids possible?
Unfortunately slave labour. Before, the Egyptians were self-motivated and happy to do the work, but as time went on they were forced to continue working.
What internal organs did Egyptians remove?
The brain and heart because Egyptians weighed them. So they can see if they are bad or good. for example if the heart is heavier they are good.Technically the Egyptians removed every single organs BUT the heart because they believed that the spirit only needed its heart to travel into the afterlife.

Why do you think the Egyptians united into a single nationstate while the Sumerians did not?
because the sumerians did not work well together and they were very strong so they don't need to unite. They don't need help too.

What are 2 different kinds of pulleys?
single fixed pulley, single movable pulley and single fixed and movable pulley. :-)
What is a single fixed single movable effort up?
it uses 2 pulleys workinf together !! hailey
What are examples of single movable pulleys?
Block and tacle hahahahahaha Peace
A single lobe of a kidney is comprised of?
the renal pyramids
Can one hundred pulleys hold a car?
Even a single pulley can hold a car, if it is built strongly enough. It would be an unnecessary complication to use a hundred pulleys.
How many more edges does a single square pyramid have than 2 squared pyramids stacked together?
The answer depends on how the pyramids are stacked.
What are the types of pulley?
movable single multiple fixed inclined
How did people build the Egyptian pyramids?
There are several ideas about how the Egyptians built the pyramids. The most accepted one is that they cut big limestone blocks with copper chisels and saws. Gangs of men dragged them to the pyramid site and pushed the first layer of stones into place. Next, they built long ramps of earth and brick to drag up the next layer of stones. They continued this process until they made it to the top. Finally, they covered the pyramid with an outer coating of white casing stones. They laid them so close together that it looked like the pyramid was cut out of a single white stone. We may never know exactly how the Egyptians built the pyramids. But, these pyramids show that ancient people were intelligent and had great technical skills.
What are the description of lever?
A lever is a simple machine that makes work easier for use; it involves moving a load around a pivot using a force. Many of our basic tools use levers, including scissors (2 class 1 levers), pliers (2 class 1 levers), hammer claws (a single class 2 lever), nut crackers (2 class 2 levers), and tongs (2 class 3 levers).
How are scissors considered a compound machine?
They have two levers on a single common fulcrum. The edge of each lever is a wedge.
How many levers dose a mountain bike have?
Thre are several ways to interpret that question. If you're asking about things that are actually called levers, then the answer is probably 4 - one pair of shift levers and one pair of brake levers. Unless it's a gripshift equipped bike, in which case it'll only be one pair of brake levers. Or maybe it's a single-speed, in which case it also only has brake levers. Or maybe it's a fixie, which don't use shifters or brakes. Or its using rear gears only, giving it 3 levers. One shifter, two brakes. Or it's a rear gear gripshift - two brake levers. Or maybe you're asking about the mechanical definition of levers, in which case there's be a lot more. The handlebar is a lever, each crank is a lever, the wheels may be seen as levers. If you've got quick-release wheels and seatpost, those are levers too.
