I wonder how...

These got here. I was walking through the desert when I noticed I was walking on a giant mud ramp. The ramp I was walking on lead me to Khufu's great pyramid. The ramp I was made out of Gypsum, Tafla, and tons of limestone blocks. I later figured out that these ramps were used to drag the limestone blocks for the pyramids.They were kept slick by having people pour water on them( it would stink if you fell.)



(the ramps are green in this pic)
