Yes and no The work force was a mixed one of slaves and free workers. A total of 20,000 to 30,000 workers would have been needed for the task. The slaves did all the heavy dangerous work such as quarrying, dragging the stones, putting them in place, extending and repairing the ramps used to raise the stones to the required level.
