Pyramid construction
Pyramid construction involves building a large, stable structure by stacking blocks in a stepped, tapering shape. Builders start with a broad, solid base and gradually place successive layers of smaller stones or blocks on top, following precise alignment to ensure stability. The ancient Egyptians used large limestone blocks and carefully designed internal chambers to support the weight as they built upward, creating iconic monuments like the Great Pyramid. The process required careful planning, skilled labor, and knowledge of engineering principles to ensure the structure’s durability over thousands of years.
