Answer 2

Two major theories surround the construction of the Great Pyramids of Egypt. The first theory, suggested by the Greeks, posits that slaves were forced to work until the pyramid was done. A more widely accepted theory in the modern era, however, suggests that the Great Pyramid of Egypt was built by hundreds of skilled workers who camped near the pyramids and worked for a salary or as a form of paying taxes until the construction was completed. Current consensus among Egyptologists also is that the head of the Great Sphinx at Giza is that of Khafre, who is believed to have built the pyramid next to Khufu's in the Three Great Pyramids of Giza.

Answer 3

During Egypt's Old Kingdom (time line), the pharaohs established a stable central government in the fertile Nile Valley. Perhaps the greatest testaments to their power were the pyramids and other tombs built to shelter them in the afterlife.
Who Built the Pyramids?

Contrary to some popular depictions, the pyramid builders were not slaves or foreigners. Excavated skeletons show that they were Egyptians who lived in villages developed and overseen by the pharaoh's supervisors.

The builders' villages boasted bakers, butchers, brewers, granaries, houses, cemeteries, and probably even some sorts of health-care facilities—there is evidence of laborers surviving crushed or amputated limbs. Bakeries excavated near the Great Pyramids could have produced thousands of loaves of bread every week.

Some of the builders were permanent employees of the pharaoh. Others were conscripted for a limited time from local villages. Some may have been women: Although no depictions of women builders have been found, some female skeletons show wear that suggests they labored with heavy stone for long periods of time.

Graffiti indicates that at least some of these workers took pride in their work, calling their teams "Friends of Khufu," "Drunkards of Menkaure," and so on—names indicating allegiances to pharaohs.

An estimated 20,000 to 30,000 workers built the Pyramids at Giza over 80 years. Much of the work probably happened while the River Nile was flooded.

Huge limestone blocks could be floated from quarries right to the base of the Pyramids. The stones would likely then be polished by hand and pushed up ramps to their intended positions.

It took more than manual labor, though. Architects achieved an accurate pyramid shape by running ropes from the outer corners up to the planned summit, to make sure the stones were positioned correctly. And priests-astronomers helped choose the pyramids' sites and orientations, so that they would be on the appropriate axis in relation to sacred constellations.

From stone pusher to priest, every worker would likely have recognized his or her role in continuing the life-and-death cycle of the pharaohs, and thereby in perpetuating the glory of Egypt.

Answer 4

The pyramids were built by the egyptian slaves, mainly the hebrews, who the egyptians took into captivity because they were afraid they would outnumber and revolt against them as an enemy.
They were forced to make stone and brick with straw and mud, by standing in it all day and mixing it with thier feet, it was horrid.
They were treated horribly and beaten with wips, to make them carry all the heavy stones, etc.
Eventually God called Moses who was originally a hebrew, but thought to be egyptian, as he was pulled and saved from the nile,
to be the deliverer and free the hebrews out of bondage, The Hebrews were Abrahams decendants, and God had told Abraham in Genesis that he would father this nation that was held into bondage for 400 years.
Thats how the pyramids got built.

Answer 5

Egyptians built the pyramids, no they werent built by aliens. They were built for the Egyptian Pharos, and men were hired (not slaves) to help to bring blocks that they rolled on rollers from hundreds of miles away ,because the sand of the pyramids is different from the surrounding sand and it couldnt be used.

Answer 6

Everyone knows that space aliens built the pyramids in two days' time using means which we can't even begin to imagine.

Duh.

Answer 7

No one knows.

The pyramids were already ancient when history first began to be recorded.

Recent discoveries suggest they were built by Egyptian craftsmen with many different skills.

The blocks were put into place using wooden "saddles" that wrapped around the blocks and made them circular so they could be rolled into place.

Answer 8

there is no way the egipcians could have built the piramids, they used them as novelty burials when they arrived to that area. a civilization with the knowledge to build a piramid would have had the same level of technology in different areas such as: military, health, and others, it's like modern society being able to travel to the moon but still using arrows and spears to fight.
