Unknown Facts About The Egyptian Pyramids

Heavier than an elephant

To have any idea of how heavy one 2 to 50-ton stone block was, think about carrying an elephant on your back. There was no electric powered equipment to help the workers, everything was done by hand in sweltering temperatures.

It was estimated that over 100,00 men were involved in the project and 2 million bricks were used to construct one pyramid. When you consider how heavy it is, it is remarkable that the workers were even able to lift one brick.
