The first and largest pyramid at Giza called the Great Pyramid was built for the 4th dynasty Pharaoh Khufu (reigned 2589-66BC)
The Pyramid was not built by the Pharaoh personally. He commanded his chief of works and architects to draw up the plans. The actual work was done by masons and thousands of slaves supervised by the Pharaoh's project managers the scribes. It is said that 100,000 naked slaves toiled for 20 years on the construction of the Great Pyramid. Modern estimates are in the order of 10 to 20 thousand.

The ancient Greek historian and tourist Herodotus who visited Egypt in 450BC was told it took 100,000 slaves to build the Great Pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu. More modern estimates put the number at 10,000 to 30,000. Just think when Herodotus visited Egypt the pyramid was already 2,000 years old.
