How the pyramids were built

Egyptians' pyramid construction secret revealed

University of Amsterdam researchers found that ancient Egyptians employed what Phys.org calls a "clever trick" to facilitate the pyramids' construction: They likely wet the sand along the path they dragged their sleds, which were laden with pyramid stones weighing some 2.5 tons, reports Gizmodo.

This greatly lessened the power needed to pull the sledge from the quarry to the construction site—so much so that the number of people needed to pull the sledge could be cut in half.

This trick was "staring [researchers] in the face all along," notes Gizmodo: A wall painting found in an Egyptian tomb shows slaves hauling a sled loaded with a huge statue; in front of them is a person pouring water into the sand.

Everybody knows the pyramids were designed by space aliens and constructed using cheap Mexican labor.

So now the great mystery is
where did they get enough water
in the middle of the desert?

The Nile?

The pyramids of Egypt are among the world's great archaeological treasures; one is among the seven wonders of the ancient world. Ancient Egyptians built pyramids to honor, or sometimes entomb, pharaohs and other royalty. Because Egypt is largely desert, much of ancient Egyptian civilization arose in the Nile River valley. Many of the best known pyramids still cast their shadows over the river.

hogwash....I don't believe this theory. I don't know who built them but there's no way Egyptians built them.

Thanks rightwinger and Esmeralda
That was actually nothing but a wisecrack remark
but thanks for the serious answers anyway!

Where were the quarry sites the stones were taken from?
If those were down the river also, is that how they were transported? by river?

I still like the alien theories, from "Chariots of Fire",
regarding the huge painted land markings at other ancient sites
that require viewing from the sky to read the images.

I don't think they had college students and frat pranks
that far back in history. Trying to communicate with aliens
might explain it if they had Art Bell's and Scientologists back then...

Nile was higher and there used to a canal to the pyramids with a dock for boats.

It's funny to watch archeologists twist logic into a pretzel trying to avoid the evidence that Egypt used slave labor to build the glorified tombstones. Everybody seems to marvel at the engineering that went into the pyramids and it is remarkable but the living Egyptians existed in abject poverty well into the 20th century while the dead rested in splendor. They wasted hundreds of years of knowledge, labor and wealth building monuments to the degenerate dead kings.

There's this little tiny, inconsequential trickle stream called the Nile ...

Maybe you've heard of it?

They built a system like the Keystone pipeline to get the water to the site.....
If they had a pharoah like Obama we would not have the Pyramids....
They would still be fighting the red tape.
