Again and again, over the course of history, many scholars and scientists asked and wondered the same question of 'how the pyramids were built.' The Great Pyramids of Giza and the other pyramids, over 100 Egyptian pyramids, are considered the greatest pieces of human engineering and architecture. These monuments still strongly standing after over 4,500 years and are still a mystery unsolved to this day.
