There is no exact number of rock quarries in the world as they are constantly changing due to opening, closing, and merging of operations. However, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of rock quarries globally.
Quarries are formed through a process called mining, where large amounts of rock, sand, or minerals are extracted from the Earth's surface or underground. This extraction process can be done through blasting, drilling, or digging, creating holes in the ground which we refer to as quarries. Quarries are typically formed in areas with rich deposits of valuable materials that are economically viable to mine.

We don’t know the time you are asking about, but there were no nearby quarries near the pyramids. The quarry is at least a 100 miles from the pyramid on the Gaza Strip.
