how the Egyptians used pulelys

The Egyptians made Pyramids with blocks that was heaver than two tons!(4000 pounds). but they could not lift the blocks up so they invented a pulley. It was made to lift and pull blocks from limestone cliffs to the sites of the Pyramids. we still use pulleys. they are around us. by Tainn Simpson

Tainn this is great - I bet they really needed something to lift such heavy weights - a good choice of illustration as well.

I didn't know that they used the pulleys to lift up the bricks to make the pyramids in Egypt.
