Why did they need so many people to build a pyramid?
First, many, many people had to cut into the rock formations, and cut huge perfect stones to pile up for the pyramids. Second, each of thousands of stones had to be moved from the rock quarry all the way to the pyramid location. It took many people to build the wood structures needed to start building the halls and rooms that would be deep inside the pyramid. If getting the stones to the pyramid took many people, then raising the stones and piling them atop each other was major. The stones were so terribly heavy that it took a bunch of manpower to raise them and position them. So it would not take many decades to finish the pyramid, many work parties were formed to haul, raise, and lay the stones. To get the pyramid finished before the Pharoah died and would be buried in the pyramid, many, many thousands of people had to work together.

Why is the pyramid is 30 feet shorter than when it was built?
There was an outer layer of casing stones, made of highly-polished white limestone. Many of the casing stones were shaken loose by an earthquake in 1303, and these were subsequently carted away to build other structures in Cairo, there being no interest in re-attaching them at that time. Other casing stones were removed to build a mosque in the 1800s. Between the removed stones and subsequent fracturing, the top of the pyramid is now nearly 8 meters (26 feet) shorter than when completed.
