Workers and Times of the Pyramid of Khufu

 

At the request of Professor Curto on behalf of the Academy of Sciences, we wanted to examine in detail the possible quantity of workers that would have required the construction of the Khufu pyramid in the approximately 20 years of reign attributed to this sovereign using the advanced construction method for the major pyramids. The validity of this work, shared by the Egyptological community, derives from the fact that the theoretical results thus obtained are entirely compatible with the number of residents deduced from the excavations of the working-class city of Giza, subsequently discovered and still under excavation.
