No one really knows. The ancient Greek traveller and historian Herodotus (c.450BC) was told that the Great Pyramid of king Khufu was built by 100,000 slaves. Modern day estimates put the number at 20,000 to 30,000. This would have been mixed workforce of free workers and slaves. The free workers would have been the skilled part of the workforce such as masons, carpenters, copper smiths, quarrymen and supervisors (the scribes and priests). The majority of the workforce were unskilled slave labourers doing all the heavy work. Most of the slaves, if not all, were naked.
