The Egyptian pyramids were built during the neolithic. The main tools used were stone hammers and copper chisels, Cutting of the blocks in the quarry was done by building fires over the part of the rock to be cut and when the rock got hot enough sweeping the fire away and pouring water on the hot rock to fracture it. Wooden wedges were driven into the cracks thus produced to make them expand and separate the rocks on either side.

No bronze or iron tools of any kind were available.
