Best Answer

The Egyptian pyramids were built during the neolithic. The main tools used were stone hammers and copper chisels, Cutting of the blocks in the quarry was done by building fires over the part of the rock to be cut and when the rock got hot enough sweeping the fire away and pouring water on the hot rock to fracture it. Wooden wedges were driven into the cracks thus produced to make them expand and separate the rocks on either side.

No bronze or iron tools of any kind were available.

They used mason's tools: chisels, bolster, saw, mallet, set square, plumb line and bob; the lever in the form of a long pole and a log for the fulcrum; the inclined plane; sledges to move the stones; and thousands of slaves

The Egyptians used tools made out of copper to build the Great Pyramid. Stones and small blocks were also used as tools.
