VERY WELL !!! VERY WELL INDEED !!! Nobody really knows for sure just how or why they were built...new things are being learned every day about all the pyramids. I will assume you meant the ones in Egypt ...They (the archaeologist who now work to unveil the secrets of ancient Egypt) say the (slaves) were volunteers just as the citizens and had equal credit for being a part of their construction.The huge stone blocks were carried by barges down the Nile from quarries far to the north , except for the outer ones - that were highly polished to a mirror-like Finnish- I think came from even farther away (not sure) where. the cap-stones were solid gold. Some think huge ramps were used(most likely) others say the blocks where hoisted and levered into place...(the ones at the top must have been) but nobody knows for a fact how . The ancient language of Egypt is also a mystery as well , one can only guess what the hieroglyphs say , or even how they are to be read....but they are working (still) to solve this puzzle !!!

How did they build the pyramids?...People ask such questions, BECAUSE they are questioning what the ancient Egyptians used to build the pyramids. What if they had the SAME technology we have today and they used it?. I don't think the White man would believe that, because he believes he started civilization and technology and there was NO such a thing called "technology" in ancient times. This is how they tell us in books. HOWEVER, if a man is able to build 150 floor tower, he must use a technology such as cranes, why do you think the ancient Egyptians had no cranes?. Remember, you don't NEED to see the evidence of technology to believe they used technology to build the pyramid, because of centuries and reluctant weather changes the remains of the technology they used will not even be discovered.
Europeans were living in mud hats, and dying of cold winter and Black Death diseases, when these people had empires and engineering such things.

Do you really need to ask this? They were built using space alien technology. There, somebody finally brave enough to say it!
