I thought it was well-documented that the blocks were floated to the construction sites via canals that were subsequently filled-in. Haven't they even been found and partially excavated? No Murphy Walkers would have been needed to move blocks cross country.

There are ancient docks on the Nile, and there's a causeway leading up toward Khafre. There is a distinct lack of documentation on the construction techniques, which I guess is understandable given the age of the 4th Dynasty pyramids at Giza. :') There's also a lack of agreement on the source of the stones, as well as whether the stones are actually quarried stone in the first place.
