about 2.3 million limestone stones
the great pyramid was built by king khufu. he used large stones. He used thousands of slaves to build it.
Like all pyramids, limestone was used.
With an average density of 2,6 - 2,9 t/m³ the large limestone blocks weighted 6.5 - 10 tons and the smaller ones about 1.3 tons. For all calculations on this website an average weight of 2.5 tons was used. Pyramid: Nummulite limestone from quarries about 200-400m south of the pyramid were used for the core stones.
They used manpower, ropes, skids, and elephants.
Of the estimated 2,300,000 blocks that were used to build Khufu's great pyramid, each one weight approximately 2 1/2 tons.

Skilled stone cutters in Egypt made stones
The Great Pyramid of Giza, for example, is estimated to have been constructed using about 2.3 million stones. These stones varied in weight, with the average limestone block weighing around 2.5 tons, while granite blocks used in the inner chambers could weigh up to 15 tons or more. Overall, the total weight of the stones used in the pyramid is estimated to be around 6 million tons.
