A tube rolls up a fairly steep ramp a lot easier than a cube can be slid up a shallow ramp.
After all was done, the temporary ramps that ran around the pyramid were just removed. | You poor sod... | |

At least I got monkeys Utah.
Let's play. Assuming you've been reading and now understand the basics of moving heavy objects with only levers and rollers, were gonna move on to the big blocks on the pyramid. The kings chamber, (go search some pictures on the net), starts at about the 70th level. the stones used to make it up weigh up to 70 tons. Obviously not gonna work with my step method intended for the majority of the 2.3 million blocks. Let's see if anyone can figure this out with some hints.
The big blocks of the pyramid were the first stones staged. Right from the beginning of construction they sat waiting with the outline of the pyramid. They were raised one level at a time within the confines of the pyramid using the levels themselves to make their journey upward. Anyone care to take it from here? Similar methods. Think big. Or am I asking too much? | |

How to build pyramid?
First a big pit is dug.
then a layer of rock and gravel is put down
Then a layer of Neoconservatives as glue
another layer of rock and gravel is put down
another layer of neoconservatiives as glue
Pour a lot of cement over this to form the first platform.
then a layer of rock and gravel is put down
Then a layer of Neoconservatives as glue
another layer of rock and gravel is put down
another layer of neoconservatiives as glue
Pour a lot of cement over this to form the second platform.
Keep going until one runs out of conservatives | |

Keep going until one runs out of conservatives | That would work incredibly well...
Conservatives are well known for having a stable platform and an excellent foundation to build upon...
If you tried this with Liberals, it would collapse before you can say, "Last call, Mister Kennedy."... | |
