What Were Used to Build Pyramids?

Hmmm...very interesting
With simple tools, the egyptians cut and shaped very hard stone that was used to make the pyramids. Some examples of this stone was granite and basalt, as well as softer limestone. Limestone is a white stone that is very easy to cut and carve. Limestone was a very popular stone for building the pyramids. Although it was very heavy, they had the ramps so it was easier to build the pyramids.
