a mile long gentle slope ?
if they are bothered enough to build a pyramid then they are prob bothered enough to stack some soil and stones and make a ramp to the top - the thing about this is that they could lengthen the ramp to compensate for the height

how can a pyramid be aligned with the north?the base of a pyramid is a square,now how can you point it north?
the magnetic pole was different at the time,it's always changing
to answer the original question, I think it is arrogant to assume the egyptians couldn't do it on their own. 1000 years from know, people will be wondering if aliens helped us get to the moon. after all, we had only learned to fly 60 years earlier.....Homo sapiens have had the same size brain for about 100,00 years. All it would have taken is enough resources and time to build them.
exactly,the pyramids are a 100% man made.does the fact that we have computers and aircrafts mean we should automatically understand how the egyptians built the pyramids? NO!
Oh my God......you poor man...
I'm really surpriced bout the crazy thoughts all you people have...always looking for a normal answer, and when there isn't a normal answer, y'all create one...
