  made new blocks and rolled them up the ramp on to
  the other layer of blocks.

THE PLANS FOR THE PYRAMID
The pyramid was like stairs. They stacked blocks
by blocks row by row. Thousands of men worked on
it. When all the rows were done, they did the
top of the pyramid. Was made out of gold and
silver or electrum. Then they would need to build
the mastabas, causeway,morturary temple and
satellite. Then the complex was done and the
pharaoh could be put into the after life.
