Answer The Egyptians worked on these pyramids for ten years. They have made skills were they would use rocks and stones to smooth it. It did not take as long because there were 4,000-5,000 people working on it at once.So the answer is rocks and stones. ----------------------------------- The ancient Egyptians built pyramids for a period of over 2,300 years; however, none of these structures likely took more than the lifetime of the Queen it was being built for to complete. The largest & most famous, The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza (complex built c. 2575-2465 B.C.E. ) is estimated from both ancient accounts & modern scientific research to have taken approx 20-years to build & involved as many as 30,000 laborers... Perhaps the best theory as to leveling has it done by a trench filled with water surrounding the perimiter of the base with a floating level-sight at each corner. As water always seeks it own level, keeping these in alignment & relating to/measuring off them insured level... Detailed information re this is easely available from the usual sources...

Can you slide a pyramid?
Assuming you mean slide down a pyramid: You could, but not most as they were originally built with rough sides. Egyptiian classical pyramids were covered n smooth hard stone, which the idiot and very culturally primitive Napoleon took from the pyramids to use as a foundation for a causeway he built for his troops (1797?). The earlier Egyptian pyramids were known a step pyramids (mastaba) and did not have smooth sides. Other pyramids built in other countries were also not smooth sided. The Egyptian pyramids were not only therefore impressive in size and shape, but originally shown in the sun with much brilliance due to their polished stone sides. If you mean can you slide a pyramid the answer is yes if you can get enough water under it and freeze it thus making it much easier to slide (problem, such pressure from heavy pyramids would make keeping the water under such weight/pressure very difficult.)
Why are pyramids 3 sided?
pyramids have a triangular base. As a triangle has three sides, the pyramid will have three sides. Although you can get square based pyramids which have four sides. ---------------------------------------------- The Egyptian pyramids are 4 sided not 3 sided.

How are Egyptian pyramids similar or different form Sumerian ziggurats?
Both Egyptian pyramids and Sumerian ziggurats were ancient structures built as religious monuments.
