From which material are the bricks that built Egyptian pyramids,and how were they made?

Answer 1

During the earliest period, in the Third and Fourth Dynasties, pyramids were constructed wholly of stone. In the Fifth Dynasty the physical scale of pyramids was much reduced, and poor quality limestone replaced granite as the chief building material. In–filling with loose rubble was also used for the first time. This enabled pyramids to be built with fewer resources over much shorter periods.

During the Middle Kingdom pyramid construction techniques changed again. Most pyramids built at this time were little more than mountains of mud brick encased in a veneer of polished limestone.

Answer 2

Early royal pyramids were built primarily of limestone, usually limestone quarried near the pyramid site, and often the outer covering was of finer limestone quarried from the site of Tura. A few of these earlier pyramids had lower exterior courses of granite and a few pyramids also have interior chambers lined with other stone, granite being a popular choice.
Later royal pyramids of the Middle Kingdom and non-royal, private pyramids were often build in whole or in part of mudbrick. Mudbrick was the most common building material in ancient Egypt and is still used on a fairly regular basis in modern Egypt. It is usually unfired. Mudbrick is made from mud, usually mud collected from the banks of the Nile which has a clay-like consistency. Usually it is mixed with sand, occasionally with straw as a binder and molded using wooden molds and left to dry in the sun. Once the bricks are dried, they are suitable for use in a building. Buildings are either dry masonry - bricks stacked atop one another without a binder or a sort of mortar is used, usually composed of clay or Nile silt like the bricks themselves, but of a thicker consistency, often with more coarse sand inclusions. Plaster is often used to coat the surfaces of walls to provide greater stability and protection from the elements.

Answer 3

"Locally quarried limestone," for the body. Originally the great pyramids were sheathed in white limestone, which must have been an impressive sight, until it was stripped away for other purposes. Burial chambers and some exterior stone was granite.

There has been some speculation in the past that they were cast in the same manner as cement, using native sand, water, and ash. This theory has some appeal to it, as it would make it much easier to believe that baskets of sand were hauled up instead of huge, uneven blocks. The theory has never really been popular, and on the basis of analysis it has generally fallen aside as a viable technique by which the pyramids were constructed.

Answer 4

The blocks that make up the Greaty Pyramid are not bricks... they are far too big.

These blocks (granite I believe?) were cut from a nearby quarry and hauled into place.

Clay.

Answer 8

in movies, they had slaves to pack mud and thatch together and then put them to dry in the sun.
guess it's right.
