A Pharaoh would commission a pyramid build as his tomb and have it filled with necessities (food, possessions, jewels, ect.). If so, why? About 2.3 million individual blocks were cut, shaped and moved to the site from nearby quarries.
These include the excavation of the workers village, the discoveries of Khufus solar boats, and the tomb of Queen Hetepheres I. We have already read a bit about the precision with which the stones were cut and put together, but the cement used to hold these stones in place is unknown to scientifically oriented researchers. By the time of the New Kingdom (15701069 BC), the Giza complex was still an active site.
