How did the ancient Egyptians haul over five million tons up hundreds of feet?
Perhaps they used systems of ramps, ropes, and plain, old-fashioned elbow grease, much like the systems they used to remove stones from their quarries. Maybe they used ramps that went straight up the sides or ramps that curved around the walls. There is no consensus. The real method remains a mystery.
According to Kara Cooney, a professor of Egyptian art and architecture, this is exactly what the ancient Egyptians wanted. It increases the sense of awe and wonder, proving the amazing power of the rulers who built them.
Which example from the text develops the idea that it remains a mystery as to how the Egyptians moved and stacked the stones they used to build the pyramids?
"Perhaps they used systems of ramps, ropes, and plain, old-fashioned elbow grease..."
"But the ancient Egyptians didn't use horses, and they certainly didn't have pickup trucks."
"A team from the French Institute for Oriental Archaeology discovered a unique ramp system..."
"The Great Pyramid weighed approximately 5,750,000 tons. A draft horse can pull four tons on its own..."

“heartwork each day is born with a sunrise and ends in a sunset, the same way we open our eyes to see the light, and close them to hear the dark. you have no control over how your story begins or ends. but by now, you should know that all things have an ending. every spark returns to darkness. every sound returns to silence. and every flower returns to sleep with the earth. the journey of the sun and moon is predictable. but yours, is your ultimate art.” ― suzy kassem what does this quote mean to you? and why? i'm not looking for anything in particular, i just wanted to know. : )
