Philosophy & Evolution of Egyptian Pyramids

[Mudhammam]

According to the fifth century (B.C.E.) Greek writer Herodotus, who apparently visited the site himself, the Great Pyramid took four separate shifts of 100,000 slaves working year-round (each shift worked three months at a time, for a total of 400,000 workers), and 20 years to complete. While his figures are probably way off, it is astonishing to consider that even in the golden age of Greece, the largest and oldest pyramid had already been an object of admiration for 2,000 years!
