Page 83 of Dieter Arnold's book:
"A huge ramp near the Cheops pyramid was excavated leading up from the quarries west of the Sphinx to the pyramid plateau, east of the queens' pyramid. The ramp is 5.4 to 5.7 meters wide and was contained by two parallel walls, carefully constructed of rough fieldstones, coated with mortar, and set in sections 10 to 21 meters long. The fill, now removed, contained seal impressions with the name of Cheops. Eighty meters of the ramp are preserved. It was probably used for the delivery of stones to the plateau, probably not for the pyramids but for one of the mastabas of later Fourth Dynasty."</HTML>
