Answer 1

["They used a ramp and put the brick on a piece of wood attached too rope and pulled it up the ramp to the pyramid."]

Answer 2

Correction: if one were to interpret the question with a greater grammatical attention, "how did the Egyptians acquire the bricks" would be the topic of discussion rather than the construction method- a subject of much debate even today.

The Egyptians acquired their bricks from carving monolithic blocks from the limestone earth that existed beneath a superficial layer of sand. A relatively low-grade limestone was used for the core structure of the pyramid followed by a higher-grade, white, polished casing of "white stone".

During the Cretaceous period, Egypt was covered with seawater. Eventually rich minerals hardened, that were once the sea floor, in absence of this water.
