: : : even the largest of the Pyramids could have been built in about 20 years by a number of people under 300.
: OK. The Great Pyramid of Giza has 2.3 million blocks, each weigh 2.5 tonnes. 8 people can manage one block per day (12 hours).
: If we say the pyramid WAS built over 20 years, then they would have to move these 2.3 million blocks over that period. That is 115000 blocks per year. That is 315 blocks every day (12 hours). That is 26 blocks a day. Whence comes the jump from 315 blocks a day to 26 blocks a day?
2300000/20/365= 315 blocks per day, 315*8 people per block =2520 people. : But there you have it. Barring any other interveneing forces, it would take 208 people 20 years to move and build the Great Pyramid of Giza. : Cheers :
