More than two million of these massive and extremely heavy blocks were used during the construction process. And how ancient workmen moved and positioned these gigantic boulders remains a mystery to modern-day researchers.

Many theories have been offered in an attempt to explain the pyramids’ construction, but none has proven definitive to this day. According to one version, the large stone blocks were brought to the top of the pyramid by ramps that ran up the sides of the edifice. Although this appears to be a promising development, the bulk of researchers today regard it as a pipe dream.
