The ancient Greek scholar Herodotus who lived around 450BC when the Great Pyramid was already 2000 years old, was told that it took 100,000 slaves twenty years to build.

Most modern historians accept the twenty years but the number of workers was more like 20,000 or 30,000. It is thought there were about 4,000 skilled workers and administrators. The rest were labourers whether they were slaves or peasants conscripted during the flooding of the Nile is for you to decide. Let me know what you think.
