Answer 2

i consider that their architecture as early as 2575 BC to build their largetst pyramid as the greatest moment of Egypt. Details qare as shown:
Undoubtedly the most striking reflection of Egypt's architectural prowess is in the mechanical construction of their monuments, in particular the pyramid, with its 'sheer size alone enough to dumbfound any passer-by' (Silverman:135, 1997). The largest (c.2575 BC) pyramid was build by Cheops (Fumeaux: 12, 1964). This great pyramid contained six and a quarter million tons of stone. It was 480 feet high before the apex stones were lost. Each side of the square base was 760 feet, with a mathematical error of about 0.03 per cent. Each polished block weighed about two and a half tons (Fumeaux:12, 1964).
"The joints between them were one-fifteenth of an inch - jeweler's work unexcelled by the builders of the Parthenon"(Silverman:135, 1997).

One-fifteenth of an inch - to achieve such precision there must have been advanced mechanical processes at the time. The dimensions of such a construction as the pyramid are enough for it to be considered a great achievement, but the greatness extends to the actual mechanics of construction. Herodotus says that '100,000 men worked for twenty years fed on a diet of onions' (Romer:82, 1982). The blocks of stone, some of them 20 by 6 feet, would be brought from the quarry by barge at the height of the Nile flood, but they had to be handled at both ends of the journey and then dragged up a ramp to the Pyramid site, some one hundred feet from the river (Funeaux:12, 1964).
"Wedges, rockers, levers and cradles were all used. The missing element was the wheel - no carts, no pulleys, no cranes. No construction on such a large scale as the Great Pyramid had ever been attempted in preceding civilizations." (Silverman:136, 1997).
