The number of people required to build a pyramid depends on its size. According to the Greek historian Herodotus (c.450BC) 100,000 men toiled for twenty years to build the Great Pyramid of king Khufu. Later pyramids, according to surviving records, took about 5,000 men to build. The workers were often peasants conscripted during the inundation of the river Nile when work was not possible in the fields. The majority of these men, if not all, would have been naked, too low in status to wear clothes.
