Well, isn't that a happy little math problem we have here! To find the answer, you simply multiply 70 by 8. So, 70 times 8 equals 560. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, sometimes all it takes is a little bit of patience and gentle calculation to reveal the true beauty of numbers.
The number of miles you would cover if you traveled for 8 hours at 70 miles per hour is a simple math problem. Simply multiply 70x8 to get an answer of 560 miles.
Most of the stone used was quarried locally. The most likely method was to load the stone block onto a sledge hauled by a gang of slaves using rope made from papyrus reeds. Granite was also used. This was quarried some 600 km down river and brought to the pyramid by boat. A specially built causeway links the river with the construction site. Again sledges were used to drag the stones from the river to the construction site. Hundreds of slaves were required to haul these monster blocks weighing anything up to 70 tonnes.
