granite and limestone
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 height of the bricks used to build the Great Pyramid of Giza varies, as the stones are not uniform in size. On average, the limestone blocks used in the pyramid measure about 1.2 meters (4 feet) in height. However, the larger granite stones used in the inner chambers can be even taller, reaching up to 2.5 meters (8 feet) in height. Overall, the dimensions of the blocks were carefully chosen to fit together in the pyramid's massive structure.
