Frequently asked
How long did it take to build the Great Pyramid?
The Great Pyramid of Giza took approximately 20 years to complete, with an estimated 20,000 workers laboring year-round. Construction likely began around 2580 BCE during Pharaoh Khufu's reign, making it one of history's longest continuous construction projects.
How did ancient Egyptians move massive stone blocks?
Workers used copper tools, wooden levers, ropes, and ingenious ramp systems to move blocks weighing 2.5 tons on average. They also used sledges and may have poured water on sand to reduce friction when dragging stones.
