First a work force was drafted. People would serve 3 month working on the pyramid and then go back to their usual work until their turn came up again.The workers planted a pole to track the Sun rise and Sun set on the horizon. The point directly even between the two would be due North so they could align the axis of the pyramid with due North. Then they dug a trench around the perimeter of the sight and filled it with water. By bringing the dirt inside the perimeter of the trench even with the level of the water, they created a flat, level plain to start from. They laid the foundation stones and then used an a-frame as the base for a fulcrum and attached a long pole at the top for a lever. This allowed them to lever the massive stones up onto the base. Some of the notches made in the stones to allow them to be attached to the fulcrum are still visible. The moved up until the pyramid was complete and capped the limestone structure with a granite capstone that was hammer plated with gold.

Interesting Question , A programme I saw some time ago on this subject indicated that for each Layer large mounds of Earth , Mud and Rocks were put in positon to creat a "Platform"then with many Hundreds of Workers the sections were hauled up to be manhandled into position, the same for each additional layer , It does seem to be a Possibility ? Hope this Answer to is of interest to you , but the Mind Boggles when you consider the Bloody great problems when have these days putting up a shelf ? ? ?

High level mathematics were passed down via alien technology to specify such precise calculations.
I believe the same technology was applied, but in a more primitive form to make the cranes that would appropriate for those times.

Further to Dave's answer They used to use ramps made from earth to drag the stones up to the level they were working on. The fulcrum method was more used in the erection of obelisks. once the structure was completed the sand was removed

think physics, and leverage. Using a little brainpower, the human muscle can be multiplied exponentially.
