How were the stones used for building the pyramid transported?
Egyptians are known for their pyramids especially the great pyramid of Giza. How the stone got there is a big question. One way they could've transported it is by wetting the sand in front of the stone. By wetting the sand it makes the sands stick together making it easier for the sledges to glide across. There are still many ways they could've transported it.
They also built ramps for transporting the stones up and down the pyramid. The ramps were used to deliver the stone to wherever the pyramid is, the ramps also grew with the pyramid it's slopes getting higher with the pyramid. There were also ropes attached to the stone acting as a force multiplier making it easier to pull the stone up the slope. These are the ways they could've transported the stones to the pyramids.
