Depends on the size of the pyramid but it always involved thousands. The ancient Greek historian and traveller Herodotus (c.450BC) was told by his guide that it took 100,000 slaves to build the Great Pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu.

It matters what size the pyramid was.wrong nobody knows but each of the pyramids get smaller. so i would have to say around 12,000 people.

Nobody knows for sure, and it differed from pyramid to pyramid.

Depends on the size of the pyramid. The ancient Greek historian and tourist Herodotus (c.450BC) was told that the Great Pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu took 100,000 workers and twenty years to build. Modern estimates put the figure at 10,000 to 20,000. Whether they were slaves or conscripted peasants is not clear. What do you think?
