How many slaves did it take to build the Egyptian temple of Karnak?
This is the second of the three pyramids built on slightly higher ground than the great pyramid which makes it look taller. It is fact about 45 ft shorter at 435 ft compared with 480 ft for the Great Pyramid. Bearing mind there is not much difference in their sizes then the number of workers must be about the same as the Great pyramid. The ancient Greek historian was told the Great pyramid took 100,000 slaves to build it. Modern estimates, they can only be estimates, put it at 10,000 to 20,000. A similar figure must be right for the Khafre pyramid.
