If anyone is in doubt they used the Causeway to move the stones up to the Pyramids, they need to watch and understand this video: [www.youtube.com]

In this first picture, he has a yard stick (36"), be it up side down. The board (Incline Plain) is approx at the 25" long. I calculated using Sketchup the rise is approx 3.5" In his last example placing the
Incline lower, he pulled up the 1000 gram weight, using a result of 250 grams. I estimated his Incline angle to be approx 6 degrees. Now consider, even with a higher degree angle than the Causeway
4.6 degrees, he saved 3/4 of the energy required to move the 1000 gram weight.

If normally it required 100 men to pull a stone up, using the Causeway, would only require 25 men or less.

They would move any stones quarried downhill, unless very close to the base of the Pyramid. They would choose to access the Causeway as soon as possible. The only exception to this rule, is that they used a Funicular system, and reduced the labor force even further down and speed up delivery.
We have been brain washed over the years, by uninformed people wanting to profit by pushing an unbelievable myth, and/or by individuals who were good at acheology, though have a blind in recognizing basic science. If someone tells you the Causeways was built, so the Pharaohs could have a funeral procession, just shake you head and turn a deaf ear. They are inadvertently perpetuating a Myth. Myths take a long time to change. They become ingrained.
