The most likely method of getting the blocks to the top of the structure was through massive construction ramps. Exactly how the ramps were laid out is unknown, but they may have been straight or in a spiral pattern around the pyramid. The ramps may have been topped with a surface of Tafla, a clay. Tafla, when wet, becomes very slippery and may have allowed the Egyptian builders to use shorter, steeper ramps than might have otherwise been possible. By wetting the ground in front of the block a slick path would be created allowing the stone to be dragged by rope as it sat on sledges.
It is also possible the stones could have been moved on rollers. By placing rounded logs under the stone, crude wheels would have made the load easy to pull. Pictures inscribed on ancient monument walls, though, suggest the blocks were dragged without the aid of rollers. Once a stone was at the top of the pyramid, it was probably moved into its final position with the use of levers.
Check out the website below, and it gives diagrams of how they think it was done. There are some whackos out there who believe aliens did it.

hi
i am an egyptian and i had years of experience of the egyptian pharos history
what is more believen here in egypt as i am one of there grandchildren that egyptians are the firist humans to do magic
they had absolute magical powers and with the help of jin the jin is somekind of energies floating around us everyday they are living creatures also they can obey you and disobey hurt or satisfy
the pharos didnt do the pyramids by any mean of scientifcal way of building any structure we all believed that they used there magic to slave the jin and make them obey there orders jin are a huge quantum of electromagnetic energy which can deal with masses easily i mean masses are nonsence when u deal with there source the energy itself the mc^2 einestin talked about
and there are egyptian old magic books found at there tombs but the ministry of culture hides these magic books away and they steal by there own treasures and gold and preasuleous stones
and they use these magic books to open new tombs and steal more treasures
you wont believe that we know here that the ministry of culture here in egypt uses magictians till now adays to open up more tombs and steal more gold
pls read more on the quick silver
and how it is used in magical issues

Through the technology of ramps. Just like ramps make it easier for wheelchair users to get into buildings, ramps make it easier to lift the massive blocks of stone.

It's just like how king Rajaraja chola built the tower of tanjore temple. As egypt is a desert, it is easy to get sand. they would drop sand to that height and pull the huge stones to that place.

the use of the wheel cart during the egyptian period enabled the people to bring the stones near the base of the pyramid.then sand was heaped into the shape and rocks were slided into position.
