about 2.3 million limestone stones
Roughly 20 years to build the Pyramid of Giza.
They used 2.3 million blocks of stone
This is the smallest of the Giza pyramids. Perhaps 5000
cause its great... that's why its called the Great Pyramid of Giza
It depended on the size of the pyramid. The Great Pyramid at Giza is comfortably over two million, with some estimates going up to 3.5 million or greater. Smaller pyramids would take fewer stones, as would pyramids which substituted different building materials.
It is estimated that around 20,000 to 30,000 workers, not slaves, were employed to build the pyramid of Giza. These workers were likely skilled laborers, farmers, and craftsmen who were paid for their work. The common misconception of slaves being used to build the pyramids is largely inaccurate.
The Great Pyramid of Giza, for example, is estimated to have been constructed using about 2.3 million stones. These stones varied in weight, with the average limestone block weighing around 2.5 tons, while granite blocks used in the inner chambers could weigh up to 15 tons or more. Overall, the total weight of the stones used in the pyramid is estimated to be around 6 million tons.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is estimated to have been constructed using about 2.3 million stones. These stones, primarily limestone and granite, weighed between 2.5 to 15 tons each, depending on their type and purpose. The total weight of the pyramid is estimated to be around 6 million tons. The precise number and weight can vary based on different archaeological interpretations and the methods used in construction.
There are no bricks in Khufu's pyramid but there are some 2.3 million blocks of stone. Most of these block are cut from limestone quarried locally with an average weight of 2.5 tons. There are some granite blocks some of which weigh up to 70 tons.
Not so much a single worker but a gang. It is estimated that one stone was laid every two minutes during the working day.
