What was the technology of Ancient Egypt?
1.What technologies were used to build the Pyramid 2.Who were the ancient Egyptians 3.How did the Egyptians move the rock to build the Pyramid
How were the blocks brought higher as the pyramid grew taller?
they had to use leverage to move the blocks higher and higher.
Can you think another way the Egyptians might have tried to reduce friction to move the heavy blocks?
They could have moved the block through water, which would be Fluid Friction, and makes it easier to move.
What may been have used to help the Egyptians build the pyramids?
Stone chisels to carve the blocks of stone in the quarry Pounding tools (to pound on the chisels) Ramps Rollers (under the blocks of stone) or more likely wooden sleds to move the stones to the beginning of the ramp and up the ramp Lubrication to reduce friction as the stone was moved Barges to transport the stone from the quarry via the Nile Levers to move the stones into place
How did Egyptians make the pyramid?
with a series of pulley's, they gathered rock and stacked it together to form a pyramid
How did the Egyptians move the blocks up each layer of the pyramid?
they carried them up with their muscles

How do scientists think the egyptians moved the blocks that weighed tons to build the pyramids?
Scientists believe that the ancient Egyptians used a combination of sledges, ramps, and manpower to move the heavy blocks, possibly aided by water to reduce friction. Recent studies suggest they might have also used a lubricant like water or animal fat on the sand in front of the sledges to make them easier to pull.
How were the great stone blocks move into place to create the pyramid?
The current theory is that they used a combination of ramps, levers, wheels and other simple machines.

How did they transport the materials to and from the pyramids?
Most of the pyramid was made from limestone blocks cut from quarries close to the pyramid site. For example, the blocks on the Great Pyramid at Gizeh weighed approximately 2.5 tons (2545kg) each. It was normal practice to load these blocks onto sledges. A gang of about 20 slaves tugging on ropes made from papyrus reeds dragged the sledge along a causeway laid with planks. Water or oil was poured in front of the blades to help them slide better.
Pyramid mixture of sand lime and water used as a lubricant to help move stones?
its stuff
How did the Egyptian move the stone from thequarries site of the great pyramid?
Most of the stone came from nearby quarries. Blocks were loaded onto sledges and hauled by a gang of slaves.
Can you think of another way the egyptians might have tried to reduce friction to move the heavy blocks?
Another way the Egyptians could have reduced friction to move the heavy blocks is by using lubricants such as water or animal fat on the ground or ramps. This would have helped to decrease the resistance between the blocks and the surface, making it easier to slide them into place. Additionally, they could have used rollers or sledges underneath the blocks to minimize friction as they were being moved.

How did they move the rocks and stones to the pyramid?
Workers likely used wooden sleds, ropes, and levers to move the heavy blocks of stones and rocks to the pyramid construction site. They may have also used ramps and manpower to drag the blocks into place.
