THE BLOCK HOISTING MACHINE as Herodotus wrote, referring to the Khufu Pyramid.
Fragment of the book "Different Story About Pyramids"- translation from Polish.

Fig. 32. Animation of stones lifting method.

Herodotus wrote: "The pyramid was built in steps in the form of battlements or, according to others, in the form of altars. After putting the stones on the base, the remainders were lifted to their places by means of machines formed by short wood levers. The first machine lifted them from the soil up the top of the first step where there was another machine that received the stone and hoisted it to the second step, where the third machine lifted it again. Or they had as many machines as courses the pyramid or possibly they had one alone that, being of easy movement, was being transferred of course in course upon ascending the stone. Both versions were given and therefore I mention both."

Fig 31 . Lifting the stones from one step to another,(from my book: "Different Story About Pyramids")

"Necesary power to pull the 2,5 ton stone along the wooden beam inclined about 30 degrees, was about 1600 KG. Using the lever with leveage 1 to 10, six people could successfully do this job, moving with small steps, let's say 4 or 5 centimetres. After 30 moves the block was one pyramid step higher and it was possible to do this work in time no longer than half an hour. Stones travelled on the northern wall of the pyramid, and finally were put in the right place."

"Special care was needed for outside stones, on which there were put precisely fit and smoothed face bricks. The gradient of the outside walls had to be very precise and they also had to hold the gradient of northern wall to enable the workers work for 100 days in shadow, when stones did not burn their feet and the air was not so hot that it made breathing impossible. Every day 100 blocks were put in a place of their destination and every day 100 blocks had to be dug out of the mud and delivered to the bottom of the ramp.
