♪ slaves! built the pyramids ♪

The limestone blocks were cut out in the quarries close the pyramid site. Once the limestone blocks quarried they were lowered onto sledges. Gangs of slaves dragged the sledge along a causeway laid with planks. Water or oil was poured in front of the blades of the sledge to help them slide more easily.
