If a pyramid has two and half million blocks and built over twenty years thats about 400 blocks a day...I am on the run I will look at those numbers again later...

I can get ot down to 270 a day...so placing 10 an hour each and every hour of those 20 years .... busy little lot.
And they must have consumed a lot of food...and beer☺

Hmmmm So then...slavery....really gets stuff done!

I have read that slaves were not used and that it was an honour to be involved in the project.

Each block is approx 2.5 ton on the one I am thinking about...I wonder how many it would take to drag a block sliding on mud probably not many...maybe only ten...
