The Ancient Egyptians used rough yellow limestone on the inside of the pyramid, white limestone on the outside of the pyramid, and hard granite in the inner chambers.
The Ancient Egyptians would pry the limestone blocks from underground, and they would cut the limestone  with copper chisels. These chisels had traces of arsenic in them, which was the only reason that the Ancient Egyptians were able to cut the limestone.
The granite could not be  cut by a copper alloy, but if a copper saw with no teeth was covered in sand, the quartz in the sand would cut the granite. Although this did work, it would take decades to cut the granite used in the Great Pyramid.

In some pyramids there would be three different chambers only one of them would have the real mummy the other two would contain traps!

To chose the site I would look for a spot with really strong bedrock that way it would be able to hold many million tons. It would need to be near water so I can put in water canals so I can level the site and get the granite sent up the river. It would also need to big enough and somewhat level so it is not to hard to level the ground. (Naked Science).

workers would be paid, not slaves. Food and housing would be supplied as part of their payment. Houses and tombs would be near the pyramid and the workers will receive a very proper burial
(naked science documentary)

they used soft limestone on the inside of the pyramid and on the outside of the pyramid was granite and Egyptians used copper tools to build the pyramid.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lotbZQ55SgU&feature=youtu.be

The pyramid would built near the Nile so the blocks could be transported from the quarries on boats down (technically up) the Nile. When the boats arrived the  stones would be hauled on to the land. Once on the sand water would be poured on the path of the stone to make it easier to pull. The people that were pulling the stone wouldn't be the skilled workers doing the building. They would be regular people that worked for slightly smaller payment.

The ground is level, and strong,It has water near it. (Video on 12/4)

The workers that build the pyramid used ramps to get some stones to the top of the pyramid. Evidence from incomplete pyramids shows that these ramps spiraled around the pyramid. This is likely, because it would use the least amount of stones and manpower to build this type of ramp.
The pyramids show that the stones on the outside of the pyramid, and the stones in the inner chambers and passageways were fit so closely that you could not fit a credit card in between the blocks. However, some of the interior blocks were stuffed together with rubble, and limestone shards.
On my pyramid, I would be more careful with the interior blocks, to improve the stress capacity of the pyramid.

They used water all around the pyramid to make smooth for the pyramid and used a chisel to make easier to it can make the pyramid stand.(video 1,2,3)

For my site i will need: A supportive  ground, A wide space so i would have a big enough space for my pyramid. I need water lots of water.        I need a strong land so i can use big and strong stones.VIDEO #! - Building the Pyramids (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

The pyramid would be a maze but with solid walls so no one would be able to get through. There would be 3 "burial" chambers but only one would hold the Mummy and the others would be boomy trapped. (Patrick Video)

I would use man power to put the blocks on sleds, then the men would push it. I would pour water to wet the sand and reduce friction.
(Article #1, Live Science)

# data[].attributes.body
The ground is flat, leveled, and sandy.

# data[].attributes.body
They would wet the sand and spread it around so that it was level, for the pyramids.(video on 12/4)

# data[].attributes.body
they used the Nile river to move the big heavy blocks but they first had to put them on sled to get them in the water

# data[].attributes.body
To get the stones to the top I would make a ramp. It would spiral around it so I do not use many rocks. Also so it is not as long as the other options. (How were the pyramids built

# data[].attributes.body
They would use A-frames that would have a little ball on a string that would hang down and wherever it was pointing to on the ground was level.
(video we watched in class)

# data[].attributes.body
They used limestone and granite to form the outside,and copper as the tools

# data[].attributes.body
They need a site that have good bedrock so it will holds it up to put the water around the pyramid.( Naked science )

I would hire skilled workers so that the pyramid looks good. To house the workers I would build a town for the workers to live and make all the villages in your kingdom cater the workers. Wait catering hasn't been invented yet. (How the pyramids were built skill share)

Setting the orientation lines of the pyramid base or the datum level, would be by setting right angles to true directions. The north south direction is by observing the North Star and or by observing the rising and setting of a certain star on an artificial horizon. The east-west direction was by observing the equinox and/or by shadows of the sun light.

To level my site i will need water. So, i can use floats to bring the  stone up to high lands. I will need to draw out the site and how the pyramid is going to be shaped.VIDEO #! - Building the Pyramids (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

# data[].attributes.body
they used the stars to have a good site than they would level it out.

I will make everything perfect

I would build a ramp that spiraled around the pyramid for structural support, and pull blocks on sleds up it.

i would pay my workers with food and shelter and medical attention when needed. they would not be considered my slaves.

(the video we watched

I would have a TON of different passageways and 7 different burial chambers but the only one that really had the mummy would be the all the way at the TOP of the pyramid, and only have one entrance, which is a straight ascent. By the time somebody found the passage, the little sandstone protrusions in the passage that served as stairs would have worn away. The passageway could only be accessed by a hidden hole near the pyramid that led through the foundation and to the passageway.

I would want to have strong ground, Flat land, Close to water, Lots of stone.

# data[].attributes.body
They had to find a flat site so the pyramid wouldn't fall

# data[].attributes.body
They used limestone and copper chisels

# data[].attributes.body
They used floats and a giant sled on wet sand

# data[].attributes.body
The pyramid would be built close to the Nile, so it could be easier to float the blocks down the Nile, and get them there faster and more efficient. (Video #1)

Egyptians use yellow stone rock which was rough. On the inside of the pyramid it was rough to.They also use pink granite, basalt, and alabaster. This material was diverse. To  build my pyramid i need tools, i will use: copper pickaxes, chisels, granite hammers, dolerites and other hard stone tools.

# data[].attributes.body
It would have a spiral building up to down, even though

# data[].attributes.body
I will need water to move the blocks to the pyramid site . For example: I will build this system to guide the blocks. This is how i am going to do it: I would have my blocks but, i will put floats on them for the guiding . They will float as the water flows like this:

Check out Audible: http://bit.ly/AudibleVe Live show in Alabama: http://bit.ly/VeRAOI The most common misconception about the pyramids is that they were built by slaves. Recent archeological evidence suggests they were instead constructed by paid workers.
