suppose you are an ancient Egyptian stone worker. the queen has hired you to make a pyramid. she will give you 140 blocks of stone. the queen shows u a model using 14 blocks. the model is 3 blocks high. facts: the top layer has 1 block, the second layer has 4 blocks and the third layer layer has 9 blocks. you will be able to use all the blocks if you follow the queens model. Look for the pattern. after awhile the pattern becomes clear. 1.how many layers does your finished pyramid have? 2. how many blocks did you use for each layer? 3. describe the pattern 4. could you make another pyramid with 200 blocks following the same pattern?
It is made of limestone blocks weighing about 0.5 ton each a lot easier to handle than the 2.5 ton blocks used on the Gizeh pyramids.
Ancient Egyptian cranes were essential in the construction of monumental structures like the pyramids. They were used to lift heavy stones and materials to great heights, making it possible to build tall and impressive structures. The cranes helped the workers to move and position massive blocks with precision, contributing to the successful completion of these architectural marvels.
they had cliffs of granite in which Egyptian people cut out their blocks from to buit the magnificant pyramids there are today.

Limestone blocks used in ancient Egyptian construction typically weighed between 2 to 5 tons, with variations depending on the specific structure and purpose of the blocks. These blocks were usually transported from quarries to construction sites using a system of ramps, sledges, and manpower.
This much is known: the Phaoronic period Egyptian culture, lasting through many dynasties did not have Money as we know it. No Ancient Egyptian coins, ingots, deposit (blocks, say of Gold or Silver) have ever been discovered. Of course they had a slave-holding society and a sort of Priestly caste as well, but the thing seems to have functioned without Money as We Know it!

They are blocks of pointy sand.

Most modern sources estimate that there are 2.3 million blocks most of them limestone weighing on average 2.5 tons (2,545kg). The limestone blocks were cut from quarries located close to the pyramid site.
Blocks of concrete like substance.

Wooden blocks used in science are used as weighing materials and converting measurements. Wooden blocks as children's toys are used to teach balance to kids.
They had to build the King's Chamber in the heart of the pyramid, and make tunnels leading to the King's Chamber but the Grand Gallery route to the King's Chamber is seal off with granite blocks
