Building the pyramids

There are only hints at how the pyramids were constructed. Mike Follows draws on the work of present-day archaeologists, physicists and engineers to discuss whether the building blocks were dragged, lifted, rolled, floated or even flown into place

The terms in bold link to topics in the AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and CCEA A-level specifications, as well as the IB, Pre-U and SQA exam specifications.

Calculations involving energy, work, force components, friction and efficiency are used to explore how the pyramids might have been built.
