The quarry for the Great Pyramid of Giza, where much of the limestone was sourced, is located about 13 kilometers (approximately 8 miles) away from the pyramid site. The granite used in the pyramid's construction was transported from quarries in Aswan, located around 800 kilometers (about 500 miles) to the south. Ancient Egyptians employed sledges and waterways to facilitate the transportation of these massive stones.
