Granite? Who crazy would come up with the idea to build pyramids with something as heavy and hard as granite.

They were not even carved out of limestone blocks, they were casted by an early form of concrete created using a mixture of limestone, clay, lime, and water. Similar to how they would have been built nowadays. http://www.livescience.com/1554-surprising-truth-great-pyram...

The walls of the king's chamber are pink granite. They also happen to be some of the more precise work in the pyramids.
