Without any problem, really.
Logistically, it is actually not even that hard. 2.3 million blocks of limestone, 5 to 6 million tons. Plus some blocks of granite, 80 tons or so for the biggest.
The heavies first - a oversize transport truck setup (lowboy) can easily (!) carry those. In Germany, MAN Turbo ships diesel engines for ships regularly which weigh in at 300 tons and more. So, basically, all we need is a road to get to the site and a crane to put them in place. Or go by rail - flatcars to carry those loads are quite common. Even easier, use a barge on the nearest river (in Gizah, the Nile), and truck only the last few km. Use a Goldhofer Schopf, ALE, or Scheuerle SPMT setup, if you want, those carry several thousand tons (they are used to move whole ships, offshore oil drill rigs, the like…).
Smaller stones could be transported by flatcar, too. Also, the normal semi trailer (open) can carry about 10 of those. Or go with a smaller lowboy setup. To make unloading faster, use a setup that allows to use forklifts to get under the stone without a pallet (special construction of the trailer, or just put some planks under…).
A company I worked for some years ago had more than 500 semi trailers.
500 * 10 stone * 220 workdays (leave and sick days for drivers included) = 1,100,000, / 2 (1 day per direction to allow for longer distances, see question below) = 550,000
Transport done in 4 years, 2 months, plus change. If you want to (and can afford it), use a double or triple personell setup, so the trucks can literally run day and night, and you might be able to shave off a few weeks.
For me the question would be…
Which quarries do we get 550,000 stones per year from?
Edit:
a detailed plan for an operation like this would take some time to do. This is just what I can come up with on the fly from my experience in the business.
一点问题都没有，真的。
从逻辑上讲，这其实并不难。230万块石灰石，500万至600万吨，加上一些花岗岩块，最大的80吨左右。
首先是重量——特大型运输卡车（多轮轴矮平板拖车）可以很容易做到。在德国，MAN Turbo （德国曼特波公司）定期为船舶运送柴油机，其重达300吨以上，所以，基本上，我们所需要的只是一条通往工地的道路和一台吊车来把它们运送到位。
或者使用铁路——能运载这些货物的平板火车是很常见的。
更简单的是，在最近的河流 ( 吉萨，尼罗河 ) 上使用驳船，卡车只在最后几公里使用，使用 Goldhofer Schopf，ALE，或 Scheuerle SPMT，如果你愿意的话，这些车可以运载数千吨。( 他们是用来移动整艘船，近海石油钻机的 )
较小的石头也可以用平车运输。此外，普通的半挂车可以一次性承载大约10个这样的，或者用一个更小的平板拖车装置，为了使卸货更快，使用一种装置，允许使用叉车进入石头下面而不用托盘( 拖车的特殊结构，或者只是在…下面放一些木板 )
几年前我在一家公司工作，这家公司有500多辆半挂车。
500*10石*220个工作日( 包括司机休假和病假 ) =1100000/2( 每个方向1天，以便进行较长的距离=550000。
运输工作可以在4年零2个月内完成，如果你想( 而且负担得起 )，使用两人或三人运输，这样卡车就可以日夜运行，你也许可以省下很大一部分时间。
依我说，问题应该是。。。
我们从哪个采石场能采集到55万块石头？
编辑：
像这样的一项行动的详细计划需要一段时间才能完成，这只是我从我的业务经验中迅速得出的一点结论。
Zee Hamid, Not ignorant
Do you know what this is?
The Palm Island in Dubai.
They used 210 million cubic meters of rock, sand and limestone from 16 different quarries to create this Island.
Let me show you the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge.
It took 100 different contractors 10 years to build this. It cost approximately $4 billion. Overall across all contractors and over 10 years, 2 million people had at least an indirect contribution to the project.
The International Space Station cost $100 billion to build and involved 100,000 people in 15 nations.
By comparison, the great pyramid of Giza would cost $5 billion to build with 1,500 to 2,000 workers and would take around 5 years.
Yes, it’s amazing but it could fairly easily be built today without a single loss of life. The real challenge would be logistical, not technological. We have sent people to space!
你知道这是什么吗？
迪拜的棕榈岛。
他们使用了来自16个不同采石场的2.1亿立方米的岩石、沙子和石灰石来建造这个岛。
让我带你去看看明石海峡大桥（Akashi Kaikyo Bridge，日本）。
100个不同的承包商商花了10年的时间来建造它，它花费了大约40亿美元，总体而言，在所有的承包商中，在10年的时间里，至少有200万人对该项目作出了间接贡献。
国际空间站耗资1000亿美元建造，涉及15个国家、10万人。
相比之下，吉萨大金字塔的建造成本为50亿美元，需要1500至2000名工人，需要大约5年的时间。
是的，金字塔的确很惊人，但在今天它可以相当容易地建立起来，而且不会有任何生命损失。
真正的挑战将是后勤问题，而不是技术问题。

Absolutely.
With modern power tools and transportation, we could do it faster and with fewer people involved, and since we know where most of the quarries are which provided the stones for the pyramids, one of which is conveniently pretty much right next door, we could do it using basically the original materials.
It would, of course, be a huge project, but far from unthinkable. The Great Pyramid, for example, weighs a bit over 5 million tons. That’s about as much as fifteen or so Empire State Buildings, or about ten percent less than Hoover Dam. Big project, yes. Doable, double yes.
绝对没问题。
有了现代的电动工具和交通工具，我们可以用更快的速度和更少的人参与其中，而且因为我们知道大部分的为金字塔提供石料的采石场的位置，其中之一就在旁边不远，很方便，我们可以用原始的材料来做这件事。
当然，这将是一个巨大的工程，但远非不可想象。
例如，大金字塔重500多万吨，这大约相当于十五个左右的帝国大厦，或者比胡佛大坝少大约百分之十。
大工程，是的。可行吗，毫无疑问。

In a way no.
As of the current moment, there are still things about the Pyramids that are unknown.
Mysterious Void Discovered in Egypt's Great Pyramid
We don’t quite have a fully and perfect blueprint of the Pyramids so the Pyramids that would be rebuilt would be imperfect.
This is actually true of quite a lot of ancient sites where because the place is so ancient, it is not excavated for study for more information with the idea that future generations will have better tools to do it more carefully.
Therefore, if the Great Pyramids were destroyed, people could make it look the same on the outside but information would be lost and a perfect replica would be impossible.
从某种意义上说，不能。
到目前为止，仍然有一些关于金字塔的东西是未知的。
埃及大金字塔中发现了神秘的虚空。
我们没有一个完整和完美的金字塔蓝图，所以重建的金字塔是不完美的。
事实上，很多古代遗址都是这样，因为这些地方非常古老，所以没有发掘出来以获取更多的信息，因为他们认为后代会有更好的工具来更仔细地做这件事。
因此，如果大金字塔被摧毁，人们可以让它在外表看起来一样，但信息将丢失，一个完美的复制品将是不可能的。

Well with all these technology advances we can yet can't .
We can build a structure of the same shape as Pyramids and it will cost billions of dollars but still won't be the same. It will only be the same shape.
It is nearly Impossible to build the Pyramids again in the same material , shape and structure.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu alone has more than 2300000 limestone and granite brick with a total weigh of over 6 million ton . A single brick range from 2 ton to 15 ton.
Also the Pyramids are complex structured from inside and have many secrets because it was built to hide tombs and prevent thievies from stealing them in anyway.
If you built the Pyramids today you will use less complicated materials , very small brick , too much energy and still won't have the complex structure from inside and end up spending tens of billions of dollars.
Just imagine how the Pharaohs built the Pyramids in that way more than 4000 years ago.
**edit: As a reply for those who say that some vehicle and machines can carry very huge weights.
These machines aren’t found in huge scale and only few pieces from them were produced at very high costs . Again let's take a look at Khufu PyramidWeighing about 6000000 ton and say on average the brick will be 2 ton . (You need great amounts of limestone and great amount of energy to shape it)You will need to produce 3000000 cubic brick of very large size and weigh of 2 ton.Then you will have to transport 6000000 ton to the working site.Then you will have to lift them and you will need to lift up to 140 meter high.You will end up using vast amount of resources, great amount of energy , produce a lot of pollution , use a very huge number of labors and wait for years to get it finished.The task is nearly Impossible.And still you will not have the same interior design of the Great Pyramid of Khufu.Ancient Egyptians built the Pyramids without using any of the modern technology and without electricity or oil (thus no pollution)
好吧，尽管有着极大的技术进步，但我们还不能。
我们可以建造一个与金字塔形状相同的结构，它将花费数十亿美元，但仍然不会是相同的，它只会形态上相同。
用同样的材料、形状和结构再次建造金字塔几乎是不可能的。
仅胡夫大金字塔就有2300000多块石灰石和花岗岩砖，总重量超过600万吨，一块石头重2吨至15吨不等。
此外，金字塔从内岛外有着复杂的结构，并有许多秘密，因为它是用来隐藏陵墓的，防止盗贼打扰法老。
如果你今天建造金字塔，你将使用不那么复杂的材料，非常小的砖，太多的能源消耗，但仍然不会有复杂的内部结构，最终将花费数百亿美元。
试想一下四千多年前法老是如何以这种方式建造金字塔的。
* 编辑：回复一下，有人说有些车辆和机器可以承载非常巨大的重量。
这些机器的规模不大，而且数量很少，是以非常高的成本生产出来的，让我们再看一看胡夫金字塔，重约6000000吨，并说，平均一块有2吨。( 你需要大量的石灰石和大量的能量来塑造它 ) 你将需要生产3000000立方的砖，非常大的尺寸、重达2吨，然后你必须运输6000000吨到工作地点，然后你必须举起它们，你将需要举到高达140米的高度。
最终你将消耗大量的资源，大量的能源，产生大量的污染，使用大量的劳动力并等待数年才能完成，这项任务几乎是不可能完成的。
然而，你仍然不会有胡夫大金字塔的同样室内设计，古埃及人建造金字塔时没有使用任何现代技术，也没有电力或石油。( 因此没有污染 )

First off, it’s obvious we do not build that way anymore. We don′t even have too. We don′t need to haul big blocks. But we usually do haul much larger quantities of gravel, sand, stone, concrete, peebles, etc.
But ok, we need to adapt to build a pyramid made of millions of big blocks.
First, what’s the best logistics to transport the stones from the quarry? Probably a sort of rail transport.
Also, good logistiics so as to reduce hauling. Objective is to cut the stone in place and in level to just move it sideways, down a ramp towards a loading dock at level with the railcar platform. Same thing at the construction site. Stone should only be moved sideways from the rail platform, and then through ramps to it’s resting place.
A french architect has imagined and somewhat proved that instead of one ramp, the pyramids used spiral ramps around it, where lever systems would pull the blocks up
Really, if we do nail down the logistics, with modern equipment, we can reduce workforce and finish the pyramids in 1/10 of the time the ancients needed.
I would say… spend some 2 years planning before building. Make tests of methods and computer simulations. That should replace several decades of experience
首先，很明显，我们不再这样做了，我们甚至都没有用过这种建造方式，我们不需要拖动大块的石头，我们通常更多的是使用砾石，沙子，石料，混凝土，小石子，等等。
但是，我们需要适应建造一个由数以百万计的大块组成的金字塔。
首先，从采石场运输石块的最佳运输方法是什么？可能是铁路运输。
此外，要保证良好的后勤，以减少运输的时间和损耗，目标是将石头切割到合适的位置，然后把石头移到一侧，顺着斜坡，沿着坡道，沿着轨道平台向上移动，建筑工地也是一样，石头只能从轨道平台侧移，然后通过坡道到达它的应该到的位置。
一位法国建筑师曾设想并在某种程度上证明，金字塔不是用一个坡道建造的，而是用螺旋形的坡道围绕它，然后用杠杆系统把石块拉上来。
说真的，如果我们用现代化的设备，我们可以减少劳动力的使用，并在1/10的时间内完成古人所需要的金字塔，但我会说，在建造之前要花上两年的时间来计划，对建造方法进行测试，并用计算机进行模拟，这将取代埃及人几十年来建造阶梯金字塔的经验。

No, we cannot.
Well, it's not me who thinks this but people who have actually spent their lives stuyding pyramids.
With our modern technology, we'll build something which will look similar, but it won't be the same thing.
It is true we can build more amazing things today, but this doesn't mean we can replicate what people in the history did. Pyramids is not the only example, there are many things which fascinate us today from historical perspective but since we don't know thier original manufacturing or construction processes, so we cannot replicate them. What we'll have is probably something more advance, but not the same.
A simple example I see is repair of broken parts of old historic buildings, which I have observed in various parts of the world. The repairs clearly look like a modern day repair/patch work and doesn't usually even match the old bricks, stones, or whatever material was originally used and glued. So these repairs look ugly. You can argue that we don't put enough time and effort to make these repairs match the original, but that's the whole point. We really cannot replicate what people did in old times, whether it is some simple everyday object or something as great as the great pyramids.
不，我们不能。
好吧，不是我这么想，而是那些毕生都在研究金字塔的人。
用我们的现代技术，我们将建造一些看起来相似的东西，但它不会是相同的东西。
诚然，我们今天可以制造出更多令人惊叹的东西，但这并不意味着我们可以复制历史上人们所做的事情。
金字塔并不是唯一的例子，从历史的角度看，有很多东西让今天的我们着迷，但由于我们不知道它们最初的制造或建造过程，所以我们无法复制它们，我们将得到的可能是更先进的东西，但不是相同的东西。
我看到的一个简单的例子是修复古老历史建筑的破损部分，我在世界各地都看到过这种情况。
很明显，这些修复看起来像是现代的修理/修补工作，通常甚至与旧砖块、石头或任何最初使用和粘在一起的材料都不相配，所以这些修复看起来很难看。
你可以说，我们没有投入足够的时间和精力，使这些修复符合其原貌，但这是整个问题的重点。
我们真的无法复制古时候人们所做的事情，无论是一些简单的日常用品，还是像大金字塔一样伟大的东西。

What a question?
With present day technology, transportation, digital engineering, resources we can build not only pyramids but Taj Mahal; even Mecca Madina (mosque) Will they be same as the original?! If anyone says YES, I can say he is blind and ignorance!
You should go and see ancient temples in India and which are being constructed in modern. times. They may be similar in some aspects, but modern temples don't inspire even one percent of awe inspired by temples which were demolished by unscrupulous, barbarian, Muslim invaders who do not know value of culture.
这算什么问题？
有了今天的技术、交通、数字工程技术、资源，我们不仅可以建造金字塔，还可以建造泰姬陵，甚至麦加麦地那( 清真寺 )，但能和原来的一样吗？！
如果有人说是的，我可以说他是盲目和无知的！
你应该去看看印度的古庙，这些庙宇被肆无忌惮的野蛮的穆斯林入侵者所摧毁，他们不知道文化的价值，它们是现代建造的，他们在某些方面可能是相似的，但是现代的庙宇并没有激起哪怕原本百分之一的敬畏。

Of course, if we wanted to do it.
We’d just do what they did, even though none of the Egyptologists want to admit it. We’d formulate a quick-setting limestone concrete, cast the blocks in situ, and then if we wanted to make the “new” Pyramids look like the originals did 5,000 years ago, we’d cover them with polished granite blocks.
There’s nothing that Imhotep and his cohorts did five millennia ago that we couldn’t do again today, if the desire to do so was there. We could build our own “Valley of the Kings” out in the Mojave right now, if someone was crazy enough to want to.
当然可以，如果我们想这么做的话。
我们可以做到他们做过的事，即使没有一个埃及古物学家愿意承认这一点。
我们会设计一种快速凝固的石灰石混凝土，在原址上浇筑石块，然后如果我们想让“新的”金字塔看起来像5000年前的原始金字塔一样，我们也会用抛光的花岗岩砌块覆盖它们。
如果我们有这样的愿望的话，五千年前伊莫特普和他的同伴们所做的一切没有哪样是是我们今天所不能做的。如果有人疯狂到想这么做的话，我们现在可以在莫哈韦沙漠（在美国加利福尼亚西南）建造我们自己的“帝王谷”。

Technically it would be trivial to build something very similar.
Rebuilding them exactly is somewhat more challenging, as there are details about their construction that are still not known and if they were destroyed we wouldn’t have the original to study and model any more.
The biggest challenge would be figuring out how to pay for it all.
从技术上讲，建造一个非常相似的东西是微不足道的。
重建它们更具有挑战性，因为他们的建筑细节仍然不为人所知，如果他们被摧毁，我们将不再有原始的研究和模型。

Quick answer not wanting to get into such things as logistics, calculations, time, then vs. now. Yes we can them like they did. Would our pyramids be exactly the same or a reasonable facsimile? There would only be one way to find out. Would the joints be as tight? I don’t know. Would they stand as straight and close to perfect alignment? I would hope they would!
What our modern minds have much more than their ancient counterparts had is arrogance. We have our modern techknowledge, supercomputers, earthmoving machines, and puff our chest out as being so superior. We then choose to ASSuME it was no big deal for Egyptians to have built the Pyramids 5000 years ago.
YES we could build a Pyramid now, but i doubt it would be as well built and able to last 5000 years.

While the technology exists to do so, it would be considered too expensive to make the effort. Finding usable materials, after all the development that Egypt has experienced as its population as boomed, would also be difficult.
Value them while you can. ISIS has called for them to be pulled down along with the Sphinx as the religious duty of a true Muslim.
There is a report that the oldest pyramid is being destroyed through the incompetence of its restoration company:
Egypt's Oldest Pyramid Is Being Destroyed By the Company Hired to Fix It
Abbas I, ruler of Egypt from 1848-1854 wanted them torn down for some better purpose, but was persuaded that it would cost too much and he would be scorned by the civilized nations. The pyramids could rest easier after he murdered by two slave boys sent for the purpose.

We could re-build the great pyramids today, but the methods after 4,500 years of technological development are quite different, and some only recently available. Imhotep had technology secrets that were lost and not re-discovered. The pyramids are still awesome and baffling.
For example, the blocks are cut and placed to tolerances that requires laser alignment tools that have only been built in the last couple of decades, this precision is what made them earthquake proof and preserved the contents.
We think we know how they moved the blocks without roads, but not how they raised and positioned them. The work force was smaller than what we need for similar scale projects built with motorized equipment.
我们今天可以重建伟大的金字塔，但是经过4500年的技术发展后的方法是完全不同的，有些只是最近才有的。伊姆霍特普的技术秘密已经丢失，没有被重新发现，金字塔仍然令人惊叹，令人困惑。
例如，这些被切割并紧密放置的石块，今天需要激光校准工具，这是仅仅在过去的几十年里才应用起来的，这种精确性使得它们能够防震并保存至今。
我们认为自己知道他们是如何在没有道路的情况下移动这些石块的，但是我们不知道他们是如何提升和定位的，其劳动力规模比我们所需要的用机动设备建造的类似规模的项目要小。

Could we rebuild a pyramid that was destroyed ? If we answer the question from the current perspective with all the technological and architectural feat we have achieved, its very well possible. And with all the tools at the disposal, we can complete this project in a very less amount of time and less number of workers. But rebuilding it to be exactly similar to the Pyramids would be a tough ordeal. Though we could build the exterior of the structure similarly, we wouldn't be able to have the same structure inside. We still haven't been able to discover the details of the complex construction that has gone into the inside of the pyramids. But yes, since we know the materials that went into the construction of the Pyramids, so it's realistically possible to make a structure similar to the existing pyramids.
The real question is do we really need to invest that much amount of money in such a huge project ! But even if we do invest in a huge project, it's not impossible is it !
But still credit has to be given to the Egyptians who created a marvel and it's really amazing as to how they completed the project with the technology and knowledge they had at that time.
我们能重建一个被摧毁的金字塔吗？
如果我们从目前的角度来回答这个问题，用我们所取得的所有技术和建筑成就来回答这个问题，这是非常有可能的。
有了可用的工具，我们可以用更少的时间和更少的工人完成这个项目，但要重建成与金字塔完全相似的建筑将是一次艰难的考验，虽然我们可以建立类似的外部结构，我们将不无法建造出相同的内部结构，我们还没能发现进入金字塔内部的复杂建筑的细节。
但，是的，因为我们知道建造金字塔的材料，所以制造一个类似于现存金字塔的结构在现实中是可能的。
真正的问题是，我们真的需要在这么大的项目上投资这么多钱吗？但是即使我们投资了一个巨大的项目，也不可能是原来的金字塔。
这仍要归功于埃及人，他们创造了一个奇迹，他们是如何用当时拥有的技术和知识完成这个项目的，真的令人惊叹。

If you mean exactly the same way, I wouldn’t think so. They would have hand cut all of that stone with copper tools which would have to be reforged after not much use, again and again, basically needing an onsite tool factory. We are not sure how they moved those blocks over land from the quarry to the river or what sort of rafts they used to float them downstream or how they moved them to the final site etc. Even if you had the incredible will and an unlimited budget it would mostly be guesswork using multiple theories. If you mean to original specifications by modern means probably. All of the production and assembly would be do-able enough, but again the exact finishing of the outer surface would be guesswork, since the finely finished outer stones were taken away for building material long, long ago.
如果你的意思是完全一样的话，我可不这么认为。
他们会用铜工具手工切割所有的石头，这些工具在使用不多后必须重新锻造，一次又一次，基本上需要在现场建造一个工具工厂。
我们不知道他们是如何把这些木块从采石场移到河上的，也不知道他们用什么样的木筏把它们往下游漂去，或者他们是如何把它们移到最后的地点的，等等。
即使你有令人难以置信的意志和无限的预算，它也主要是基于多种猜测的理论，如果你想用现代的方法来达到原版的规格的话，所有的生产和组装都是可以完成的，但是再一次，外层表面的精确精加工只是猜测，因为很久以前，这些精加工过的外层石材就被当成建筑材料取走了。

Sure we could and fairly easily using modern equipment. If your asking could we build it the same way the Ancient Egyptians did it might be a problem. Technically we could without much trouble manage to use the same type of devices that were used to move the heavy blocks into place. The thing that we might have problem with would be acquiring the number of slaves needed to do all the heavy lifting and dirty work. The world in general frowns on slavery and rightfully so. No slaves, no labor equals no pyramid.
如果我们使用现代设备的，那当然可以，我们可以相当容易地建造起来。
但如果你问我们能不能像古埃及人那样建造它，这可能是个问题。
从技术上讲，我们可以不费吹灰之力就使用同样类型的设备，将沉重的石块移到适当的位置，我们可能会有问题的事情是能否获取足够数量的奴隶去做所有的重活和肮脏的工作，世界普遍反对奴隶制，这是显然的。
但没有奴隶，没有劳动，就没有金字塔。

We probably could. But the sheer amount of work required to do this would be unthinkable. Who would fund it today? I am sure we could create a assembly line and have specialized workers doing certain parts of a task. We have much more advanced tools today that would speed up the process. But still, even with today’s technology, it seems like a difficult task.
