The specific sizes of the blocks varied from the base to the point. Take the Pyramid of Khufu. Constructed entirely from limestone, the base stones faces were measured on the outside 1,47x1.47x2,3 meters. Their approximate weight was 9.3 tons. (8500 kg) the upper most blocks were less than one half meters and weighed only 50 lbs. (22 kg) Most pyramids followed the same structural pattern, but also with varying size blocks and material.
