30,000 slaves were organized into groups, some would chisel the fine limestone into squares, and teams of oxen or manpower were used to drag the stones on a prepared slipway that was lubricated with oil.

Yes, many did. The great pyramid and others that have survived, did so for a reason. Their shape made them more sturdy over time and were not the first design.

They were built too steep and did not have the base structure as seen in the great pyramid.

How many people were buried in the Great Pyramid?

No mummy has ever been officially discovered in a Pyramid. There are separate buildings that house mummies and these are called mastabas. And the Pharaohs were buried mostly in special places like the valley of the kings which is in the Egyptian dessert. It is only a theory that the pyramids have anything to do with the afterlife or burial. We do not know what the Pyramids were built for.
