The Egyptian pyramids are the most famous. But the country with the most pyramids is actually Sudan.
Skilled workers the most important of whom were the stone masons. Thousands of slaves did the heavy unskilled labour. Most if not all of these slaves were naked.
Egyptians built the Pyramids. But who were they exactly?

A large number of people perhaps 10,000 to 30,000 at any one time
1. Skilled workers such as masons, carpenters, smiths (coppersmiths rather than blacksmiths), rope makers and surveyors. The most important were the masons.
2. the supervisors scribes, foremen in charge of the labour gangs
3. thousands of slaves, who were probably naked, did all the heavy and often dangerous unskilled work.


slaves but not Jewish slaves. The Biblical account, if it is to be believed, of the children of Israel in Egypt places them in the New Kingdom about 1500 years after the Giza pyramids were built.
the Egyptian people built the pyramids with the help of oxen
