Limestone and sandstone were the main building stones of ancient Egypt. From Early Dynastic times onward, limestone was the material of choice for pyramids, mastaba tombs, and temples within the limestone region.
In building the pyramids, how did the Egyptians get the heavy/huge blocks of stone in place? Workers used sleds, wooden rollers and levers. They dragged & pushed the huge blocks up ramps of packed rubble to the level they were working on.
