The Giza plateau had a functioning quarry that would of provided plenty of debris for a secondary ramp material. The structure of the pyramid itself also lends towards a ramp wrapping around the structure. It is know that the workers villages were tore down in between construction adding even more debris for ramps.

I remember watching a show where engineers tried to construct scaled skids and ramps to lift these stones and place them. They were able to move some on a very lesser scale and weight. Still it left more unanswered questions than answered.
You push and pull the stone up the ramp using sand and water to reduce friction.

I have herd of the digs going on in the skilled workers encampment. And it goes without saying labor had to be performed by master stone masons but the heavy lifting must have been done by incredible amounts of slave labor. How were they house fed provided drinking water in the desert?
The nile river is right there which was fresh water. The amount of people used to build the pyramids was probably around 10,000. Not a whole lot compared to the population of Egypt at the time. Also, construction was probably a whole lot better than farming. Since the workers worked in three month shifts.
