Most of the stones used to build pyramids were quarried close by to avoid transportation over long distances. At the Giza pyramid site the quarries can still be seen. The stones once cut of the rock face were loaded onto sledges dragged by gangs of slaves along a specially prepared causeway probably laid with wooden planks.

How did Egyptians invent the pyramid?
The Egyptians did not build the pyramids, the pyramids are giant crystals that were synthetically grown. Just like the natural process of and the formation of sedimentary rocks from metamorphic rock from within the earth's crust the pyramids were a replica of this process. Graphite is formed first close to the magma then over time this rock will change into SiO2, Quartz Crystal. That's why the base and a majority of the pyramid is graphite, the cornerstone of the pyramid is Quartz Crystal. How do I know? I am the one that built them.
