Building the Great Pyramid
The Great Pyramid of Khufu, built around 2560 BCE, is a masterpiece of ancient engineering. Constructed from an estimated 2.3 million stone blocks, with a total mass of 6 million tonnes, it was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. The precision is staggering: the four sides of the base have an average error of only 58 millimetres, and it is aligned to true north with remarkable accuracy.
Historians believe it took a workforce of tens of thousands of skilled laborers about 20 to 27 years to complete. These were not slaves, but paid workers who lived in a nearby purpose-built village. They quarried, transported, and meticulously placed massive limestone and granite blocks, some weighing up to 80 tonnes, creating an eternal resting place for their pharaoh and a monument that continues to mystify and inspire humanity.
