The laborer's made the Pyramid by hand, by using tools to make the blocks for the Pyramid. There were at least 100,000 laborers that built the Pyramid. When the laborers were getting the stone and putting into the pyramids, it would take at least 12 men to carry a one and half ton stone onto making the pyramids.

The walls of the chamber of each of the blocks of granite would weigh at least 50 tons, and it would be hard and too heavy to carry the stones.
