The base of the Pyramid of Cheops required 6000 hectares of territory equivalent to 6 football fields. From a distance of 800 km constructors had brought 130 granite rocks weighing 17-70 tones, and lifted at a height of 65 meters with ropes and cords, which is almost impossible today.
More than 2 million irregular rocks have been used for construction of the entire pyramid. The accuracy of the structure not only corresponds, but also surpasses the modern standards.
