Pyramid+of+Giza

About 4,500 years ago, during the “frantic construction period” (Handwerk), the ancient Egyptians created the three Pyramids of Giza. The construction went on for some 60 years, from 2550 B.C. to 2460 B.C. (Handwerk).

Instead of using slaves and servants, the Egyptian Pharos used experienced and well fed builders. The geometry and engineering of the pyramids were so great that scientists still aren’t sure exactly how they were built. Archeologists studied the landscape and determined that the workers must have had many resources available (Miller). The Great Pyramid is the largest and is 481 feet high. Some people believe that the pyramids were made by the slaves of the Pharos and that they were weak and treated poorly, but this is not true. The pharos used experienced and healthy workers to help them build the pyramids. Its is said that one hundred thousand workers worked on the pyramids for 3 months every year (Millmore).
