I think they used cranes.

Really.

I think if we could go back in time and see them doing it, we'd all slap our heads and say "well duh!"

cranes

It would take 1000 cranes to fly one of these blocks and then they would want to rest for a month. It had to be elephants.

Wow. I knew that the Ibis was one of their gods, but now I know why. Any bird species that can be trained to construct those babies is certainly worthy of worship.

I agree with you...The building of the pyramids will be a big duh.....in the meantime....there’s grant money and book money to be made.

Maybe that’s why they revered the ibis, a form of crane. Although I don’t know if they could train them to do the work, even in flocks.
