Who is responsible for building the great pyramid?

err wasn't it the egyptians? The 4th dynasty Pharaoh Khufu to precise, who ordered it to be built. Thousands of naked slaves toiled and died in the blazing sun for twenty years to build this monument to the vanity of a single man.


How long did it take to buid a pyramid?

It all depends on the size of the structure and the materials used. A small mud brick pyramid from the middle kingdom could be thrown up in a year. The great stone pyramid of king Khufu on the other hand is said to have taken 20 years to build.


How did they buid pyramids?

The Egyptians built the pyramid out of pure manpower; they didn't have cranes, pulleys, or bulldozers to help build the pyramid. Just men. To get the stone block out of the quarry, workers used wooden mallets, chisels, granite rocks and saws to cut out the huge 2-4 ton blocks out. Workers used the mallets to pound the chisel into the rock, they used the harder granite rocks to bash out the softer limestone block, which would be extremely hard because the rock would get dull quickly, and the worker could pound for ages and still only get a dent in the rock. Then when they finished cutting it out, more workers pried it off onto sleds. A team of farmers then pulled the heavy stone block over wet logs or palm tree leaves. If there weren't enough logs, workers had to put the last log to the front over and over again. If the quarry was very far away from the pyramid, the farmers would have to drag them onto a boat that floated down to the Nile closer to the building site where they would unload the block. Then another team of workers would drag the block away with the same process. When they dragged the block to the pyramid, they had to drag the block up temporary ramps placed around the unfinished pyramid. There, more people heaved the block off and started placing it in the right position in the pyramid. There were also people to make sure that the blocks were aligned perfectly. Then, more workers chiseled off the rough surface and made it smooth.When the workers finished the pyramid, painters inside would start painting scenes of daily life, or scenes of battle. The painters also drew colorful and exquisite designs on the walls. Sometimes scribes wrote prayers on the walls too.

How did they buid the pyamids with no machines?

There was no machinery as would be found on a construction site but it is untrue to say that there were no machines at all. For example the inclined plain and lever were used which in the terms of mechanics are machines. They also used muscle power, thousands of slaves were employed to do all the heavy work such as quarrying, hauling the blocks of stone and manhandling them into place.
