The pyramid builders faced were moving and finding massive stones
Hope it helped:)
Aside from moving the stone blocks one of the biggest challenges the pyramid builders faced was finding and carving the stone blocks.
about 2,300,000

The great pyramid of Giza (in Egypt) needed 2.3 million blocks and according to other calculations it is concluded that around 4 million blocks were used.
Depends on the pyramid and the period it was built. The stone blocks used on the Step Pyramid of Djoser weighed on average 0.5 ton. The Great pyramid at Giza an average blocks weighed in at 2.5 tons although some weighed up to 70 tons. Later pyramids were often made from mud brick. The Egyptians had a standard size for mud bricks of approximately 3x6x12 inches.

There are many blocks in a pyramid
The earlier pyramids built in the Old kingdom including the Great Pyramid were built from limestone and granite blocks. In the middle kingdom they were made from bricks that where made out of mud with an outer casing of stone.
The sealing blocks on the Great pyramid were made from Granite
Around 2 million blocks of stone are in each pyramid.
about 2,300,000
The number of blocks in a pyramid depends on the size and shape of the pyramid. Generally, a pyramid is composed of a base and a certain number of layers stacked on top of each other, with each layer having a decreasing number of blocks. The formula to calculate the total number of blocks in a pyramid is (1/3) x base area x height.

the Great Pyramid of khufu was made of limestone blocks
There are 4 challenges to face in the tomb (which is in the Sphinx, not the pyramid). The first is a scorpion pit, the second a group of blocks, the third a set of collapsing levels, and the last a room that fills with sand. (see the related solution questions)
The blocks are made of limestone.
