The blocks on the pyramids are all different sizes. The blocks on the bottom are the largest; the blocks get smaller as they go up. The size of the bottom blocks of the Giza Pyramid are 1.5 meters tall, 1.5 meters wide, and 2.25 meters deep. A block this size would weigh 8.44 kg (9.3 tons). Some of the blocks weigh as much as 80 tons!

SteveThe size of a pyramid block varied depending on the specific pyramid being built. The blocks used in the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza, for example, averaged around 2.5 tons each. These blocks were typically made of limestone or granite and were meticulously cut and transported to the construction site. The precision and size of the blocks used in pyramid construction demonstrate the advanced engineering and organizational skills of ancient civilizations.
