It took between 14 and 20 years for 20,000 naked slaves who toiled in the blazing sun to build this symbol of absolute power and vanity.
It's been proven, time & again, that slaves did notbuild the pyramids.During the time of flooding, a yearly occurance, farmers unable to work the flooded land would work on the pyramids, or any other national monument in construction, as manual labour. There are records of what they were fed (ie. onions, garlic, bread, beer) Other artisans (artists, carvers, architects) lived in villages near the costruction zones. Based on the ruins of the villages, these individuals were respected and well paid.The time it took depended on the size of the pyramid, materials used, and the intricacy designed into its interior. Experts theorize that the Pyramid of Khufu took approximately 20 to 25 years.It took 20-30 years, for 10,000 slaves to build the great pyramid of King Khufu. Perhaps the same number of workers and time to build the second pyramid. The third Giza pyramid took about 15 years and about 5,000 slaves.pink hats about 20 yearsIt is estimated that the great Giza pyramid took 20 years to buildit took approximately 14-20 years to build the great pyramid, it took approximately 80 years to build the Giza complex as a whole pyramid.Took about 20 YEARS TO BUILD IT30 years14 yearsPyramids are different sizes. I believe 20-30 years is average. But most slaves took less time because they were forced day and night to work.I takes about 15-20 years to build a great pyramid.
A pyramid was always built as a tomb for the king or Pharaoh. The time it took depended on its size and the number of people employed to built it. The Great pyramid of the 4th dynasty Pharaoh at Giza is said to have taken 14 to 20 years to build. Not that the Pharaoh did the work himself. That was left to his officials (the overseer of works, engineers and scribes), craftspeople (masons, carpenters, quarrymen and smiths) and thousands of slaves to do all the heavy labouring work.
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.
The Great Pyramid of Cholula, the world's largest monument and largest Pre-Columbian pyramid by volume, is a huge complex located in Cholula, Puebla, Mexico. Only a fraction of a staircase on one side of the Great Pyramid of Cholula has been restored.The temple-pyramid complex was built over many dozens of generations, from the 2nd century BC to the early 16th century, and was dedicated to the deity Quetzalcoatl. It has a base of 450 by 450 m (1476x1476 ft) and a height of 66 m (217 ft). According to the Guinness Book of Records, it is in fact the largest pyramid as well as the largest monument ever constructed anywhere in the world, with a total volume estimated at 4.45 million m³, almost one third larger than that of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. (The Giza pyramid is taller, however.) The Aztecs believed that Xelhua built the Great Pyramid of Cholula.
It will take about 350 years.
It is estimated that the Great Pyramid took 20 years to build.
A long time!
it took 20 to 25 years to build the pyramid khafre at Giza
about 2000 years old. He visited Egypt in about 450BC
Great Pyramid of Giza was the world's tallest building from c. 2570 BC to c. 1300 AD.*(Or for 4,000 years the Great Pyramid was the tallest structure in Giza.)For the source and more detailed information concerning this issue, click on the related links section indicated below.
The question to general but if your asking about The great pyramid of Giza. it took 20 years to build the pyramid and another 10 to build a stone causeway that connected it to a temple in the valley below
It is estimated that it took a period of about 80 years.
Several years. The Great Pyramid of Giza was thought to have been constructed over a period of 14-20 years.
Depends on the size of the pyramid to be built. The great pyramid of Khufu at Giza for example, was built in 20 years. The whole Giza complex was built over a period of 80 years. Later pyramids were built from mud brick cased in stone could have been knocked up in a few years.
Estimates vary from 14 to 20 years
About 20 years for the great pyramid.
There is no way to know exactly how long it took to build the Egyptian pyramids. Herodotus was told that the great pyramid at Giza was built in twenty years; however, scientists today claim it could have been built in as few as ten years.
