the pyramid was constructed in seven stages, each stage an enlargement of the last

The description leaves something to the imagination. How, for example, did they support the top level while they built the larger levels below?

Just visualize it as a very thick coat of paint each time. (And, they began painting at the bottom.)

They built the new ones on top of the old ones, like Russian nesting dolls, leaving the old ones intact.
