I think they used construction cranes.
No... Really.
A spiraling ramp inside the Great Pyramid of Giza allowed builders to hoist the monument's millions of heavy stone blocks, according to a French architect. Jean-Pierre Houdin teamed up with a computer-imaging firm to create the 3-D model seen here to illustrate his theory. But Egyptian authorities say Houdin's requests to test his theory at the actual 4,500-year-old tomb have been denied. [Image from Reuters/HO][snip] new evidence uncovered about two-thirds of the way up the Great Pyramid supports the inside-out theory. At about the 300-foot (90-meter) mark on the northeastern edge of the pyramid lies an open notch. On a recent expedition with a National Geographic film crew, Brier, aided by a videographer with mountain-climbing experience, scaled perilous crumbling rocks to reach the notch. When he ducked inside the notch, Brier entered a small L-shaped room, which according to Houdin, figures perfectly with his theory. [end]
