Chisels were primarily used to quarry stone. This means that the worker would go to the quarry and find a massive piece of stone (larger than a house) under the Earth. The chisel would be used to break off a chunk of that stone from the much larger piece, so that it could be carried to the construction site.
Additionally, chisels were used to carve stone, meaning that any particular designs or shapes to be pressed into the stone were usually carved out.
After the stones were quarried and carved, they were assembled into the pyramid by using ramps and human labor.
