    Yeah from the bottom up, because top down looks much more difficult

        Hmm yes perhaps with a system of springs and pulleys, one could contrive otherwise

          Getting the stones to the construction site is one thing.

          Stacking them up in a pyramd shape, though, is a way bigger problem that still generates debates - and loads of crazy and stupid ideas, too.
