Sоurce: Jоurney tо Eternаl Life: Ancient Egyptiаn Artifаcts, Mummies, and Pyramids, Smithsonian Magazine. Many questions remain about the construction of Great Pyramids of Giza, and theories about the actual methods used. Most of the stone for the Giza pyramids was quarried on the Giza plateau itself. Marks of the quarry workers are found on several stone blocks giving names of the work gangs such as "craftman-gang". Part-time crews of laborers probably supplemented the year-round masons and other skilled workers. Egyptians had copper tools such as chisels, drills, and saws that may have been used to cut the relatively soft stone. The hard granite, used for burial chamber walls and some of the exterior finishing, would have posed a more difficult problem. Workmen may have used an abrasive powder, such as sand, with the drills and saws. Knowledge of astronomy was necessary to orient the pyramids to the cardinal points, and water-filled trenches probably were used to level the perimeter. A tomb painting of a colossal statue being moved shows how huge stone blocks were moved on sledges over ground that was first made slippery by using liquid. The blocks were then brought up ramps to their positions in the pyramid. Finally, the outer layer of casing stones was finished from the top down and the ramps dismantled as the work was completed.
