How many stone blocks were used to build the pyramid of Cheops?
Egyptians use about 2.3 - 2.5 million blocks of stone to build a pyramid.If you calculate the volume of the pyramid, lets say the great pyramid of Giza, which has an average side length of 759.3 feet, a height of 480 feet, and the average block dimensions being 5 feet by 8 feet by 12 feet, the total number of blocks would come out to around six hundred and three thousand blocks, minus the solid core of the pyramid, which was around thirteen thousand blocks, and then you must account for the pyramid not being solid, which would maybe remove close to two hundred blocks.my source is from this book: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0962605301/worldmyster07-20/which is called Back in Time 3104 B.C. to the Great Pyramid: Egyptians Broke Their Backs to Build It : How the Great Pyramid Was Really Built.This question may have different answers but the great Pyramid built by Pharaoh Cheops was made of 2,300,000 blocks of building stone and each block weighed cc. 2 1/2 tonnes.there is over 100,000 rocks =}2 million stone blocks are in a pyramidaround 2 million blocks of stoneCurrent estimates are around 2.3 - 2.5 million individual blocks.2,500,000

Why were ramps built that wrapped around the pyramids?
One of the theories about how the blocks comprising the pyramids were raised to their levels is four ramps circling the pyramid, rather like a ziggurat. (look it up.) The blocks were pulled up the ramps using sledges and a LOT of manpower. Once the stone blocks were all in place, the ramps were removed as the limestone facing was put on. Finally, when the whole pyramid was built and faced, the ramps were dismantled leaving a major puzzle for archaeologists for many years and a great chance for the UFO-ologists to claim that they were built by "aliens". That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! Frayedknotarts
