It took 20,000 to 30,00 people to build the Great Pyramid.
The ancient Greek scholar Herodotus who lived around 450BC when the Great Pyramid was already 2000 years old, was told that it took 100,000 slaves twenty years to build.

Most modern historians accept the twenty years but believe it was more like 20,000 or 30,000 . It is thought there were about 5,000 skilled workers and administrators. The rest were labourers whether they were slaves or not is for you to decide. Let me know what you think.
80000
Like everything regarding the pyramids there is much debate and disagreement. However Egyptologists accept that the great pyramid was built by many tens of thousands of workers.

According to National Geographic it took an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 workers to build the Pyramids at Giza over a period of 80 years. A one time historians thought that slaves built the pyramids. It is now accepted that slaves were not used rather peasant farmers who were normally unemployed during the inundation of the river Nile.
