Depends on the size of the pyramid but it always involved thousands. The ancient Greek historian and traveller Herodotus (c.450BC) was told by his guide that it took 100,000 slaves to build the Great Pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu. Diodorus Siculus who lived in the 1st century BC increased the number to 360,000. Modern estimates put the figure at 5,000 to 20,000.
