The pyramids were built by Egyptians under the orders of the Egyptian leader, whose title was Pharaoh. In order to build the great pyramid, 2.3 million blocks of stone were cut, transported and assembled to create.The great pyramid, also known as khufu, is 770 feet on one side and 481 feet tall.How did ancient builders manage to build these?
