∙ 12y agoThe most probable way is a ramp whether it was one long continuous ramp or one that spiralled around the sides of the pyramid is a matter of conjecture. The ramp was built from waste quarry material bound together with clay. The stone block was placed on a sledge and dragged up the ramp by a gang of slaves.

∙ 11y agoThe most likely method was a ramp. Whether it was one long continuous ramp or one that spiralled around the sides of the pyramid is a matter of conjecture. The ramp was built from waste quarry material bound together with clay and probably laid with wooden planks. The stone block was placed on a sledge and dragged up the ramp by a gang of slaves pulling on ropes attached to the sledge.
