The average weight of a stone used to build the Great Pyramid was 2.5 tons took 20 slaves to move. The larger the stone the more slaves it took to move. The large 70 ton granite blocks used in construction of the Great Pyramid may of taken 500 slaves to move.
Picture the great block on its sledge coming up the specially prepared roadway. Perched on top the great block the foreman stands shouting his orders. Ahead stretch lines of straining naked slaves, sweat pouring from their sun baked bodies, behind other men pry at the sledge with great wooden bars.
Nearby the Overseer of Works stands, he watches anxiously as the great stone moves a few feet at a time, the slaves pulling and prying in slow rhythm to the foreman’s cries.Wiki User
