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.
20,000 workers

25 thousand
Depends on the size. According to the greek historian Herodotus it took 100,000 naked slaves twenty years to build the Great Pyramid at Gizeh. More modern scholars estimate a much lower figure varying from 10,000 to 30,000.
It is estimated that around 20,000 to 30,000 workers, not slaves, were employed to build the pyramid of Giza. These workers were likely skilled laborers, farmers, and craftsmen who were paid for their work. The common misconception of slaves being used to build the pyramids is largely inaccurate.
It took 14-20 years, for 10,000 workers, a mixture of slaves and free men, to build the great pyramid of King Khufu. Perhaps the same number and time to build the second pyramid. The third Giza pyramid took about 15 years and about 5,000 workers. Smaller pyramids obviously took less time.
Herodotus was told by his Egyptian guides that it took twenty-years for a force of 100,000 oppressed slaves to build the pyramid.
All it takes to Build a pyramid is a little pixie dust and your imagination. with that, anything can come true! I'm KIDDING! it took thousands of slaves and many years to build the pyramids.
it took 10593 bricks to build a pyramid BY MIKA AND BLAKE
The ancient Greek historian Herodotus who lived over 2000 years after the Great Pyramid was built by 100,000 workers. Modern archaeologists put the figure at 10-20,000.
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 believe it was more like 20,000 or 30,000 . It is thought there were about 5,000 skilled workers and administrators. The rest were labourers whether they were slaves or not is for you to decide.
it took a couple thousand men to build the step pyramid.
