The Stones Did Not Just Drop Out Of The Sky


This is when the stone blocks have been chipped around.

             I bet you wonder where they get all this stone. No, it did not just fall out of the sky. They get all the stone from quarries all around Egypt.  They would just chip, chip, chip all day long. That would be the sound you would hear all day. I would go insane if I heard that sound all day. They would just chip stone out of the quarry. Then they would use long wooden levers to free the stone. The stone would fall to the ground and make a loud noise. Everyone would look from where it came from then get back to work. After that it would be dragged out by sled. Since some quarries were so far away, they would have to wait for flood season to load the stone on to barges and get it up to the construction site. If you did not wait for flood season, say goodbye to the stone since your boat would sink and you might drown. Oh no!
