HOW THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS BUILT PYRAMIDS?

It is a mystery the way how the old empires built the pyramids with none error and how a lot of people carve stones with the same shape and put it in a high place without any machinery to get a structure with the precision of the pyramids.
So, how did the ancient Egyptians construct such a monument a lot of time ago? Some theories suggested that aliens assisted the construction using advanced technology. it was told that giant machines were used to lift the blocks into place with the aid of 100,000 slaves working, for the entire year, for twenty years.
The Most likely theory said that the Pharaoh employed a large work force of slaves, a round 100,000 men worked in the construction, but for only a fraction of the year because the Nile River flooded the land and the construction of the buildings can’t continue because of the risks that involve the death of the people in charge of the labor.
The shapes of the pyramid are the logical one for producing buildings of great height so the Egyptian architects realized the ever widening base would easily support the increasing number of stone blocks above it making the structure very stable also archaeology hints that the easiest method of getting the blocks to the top of the structure was through massive construction ramps that may have been straight or in a spiral pattern around the pyramid.
In conclusion, it was a challenge of the architecture to built something as splendid as pyramids even now, however Egyptians were very sagacious and found the way to built one of the most famous and marvellous things of the human past.
