Answer to: 'What is the process of building a pyramid?'

-

They chose a site to make the pyramid on the western side of Egypt where they believed was the dead side where the sun set.

-They then, after choosing the site, built a low wall around it. That site was then flooded with water to loosen the hard ground for making the foundation. The foundation was hard rock chiseled out flat.

-The next thing they did was to cut the blocks they were going to use. They measured them using a string attached to two sticks, to make sure they were all the same size. The blocks were them marked and chiseled out straight and smooth.

-They were then stacked in staggered rows to make a point at the top. Sometimes they left them like that, other times, they took more time to cut out triangular shaped rocks, with a smooth flat edge, and put them onto the staggered blocks, making a smooth flat pyramid
