Description
This study investigates the building of the Pyramid of Cheops, providing mathematical models for the different construction methods which have been suggested. Several variables are analysed, including the optimum size of workforce, the ways in which this changes according to construction method and as the building progresses, and the interactions between quarrying, transportation and building.
