Estimates suggest that around 20,000 to 30,000 workers were involved in the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza during its peak. This workforce included skilled laborers, craftsmen, and support staff, such as cooks and transporters. Contrary to the popular belief that slaves built the pyramids, evidence indicates that these workers were likely well-fed and organized into teams. The construction spanned over two decades, reflecting a significant mobilization of labor and resources.

How many weeks did it take to build the sphinx?

No one really knows for sure, but the Greek historian Herodotus, claimed that the Great Pyramid of Khufu was built in 20 years by 400,000 men, each for a period of approximately three months. In other words, 100,000 workers were engaged in constructing the Great Pyramid during every month of every year for 20 years. The Great Pyramid at Geyser is a different matter, however, as work could only take place during the three-month period of each year when the Nile was at its highest level, as during this period agriculture came to something of a stand still as the fields could not be worked, freeing up farm worker to work on the pyramid. So, the pyramid could only be worked on for a quarter of the time of that at Khufu, so, theoretically, it could have taken four times as long. However, we don't know how many people worked on the pyramid. So, we could be looking at anything from 20 to 100 years. The same speculation can be applied to the Sphinx. In fact, as the Sphinx is regarded as something of a side-project, it could have taken even longer.
