Most of the pyramid was made from limestone blocks of approximately 2.5 tons each cut from quarries close the pyramid site. The quarried blocks were lowered onto sledges. Gangs of slaves tugging on ropes made from papyrus reeds 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. A ramp of mud, brick and rubble was used to haul the blocks up to the working level.
