∙ 11y agoYes the construction of a Pyramid involved a number of trades. The most important ones were the masons. These were people working at what was the cutting edge of technology of their day. No doubt what they learnt became the basis for training stonemasons for millennia to come. Other skills included carpenters who built the scaffolding and the sledges used to drag the stones. Copper smiths who made the copper chisels and kept them sharp for the masons to use. Potters, rope-makers, bakers, cooks, quarrymen and scribes who knew the art of writing.
There was also a lot of hard back-breaking unskilled work done by slaves.
