Many civilisations built pyramids.

  • Ancient Egyptians
  • Mayans
  • Aztecs
  • Ancient Mesopotamians
  • Ancient Assyrians
  • Ancient Sumerians
  • Ancient Babylonians
  • Igbo people of Nigeria
  • Ancient Chinese
  • Ancient Greeks (none survive to this day)
  • Ancient Romans (only one survives)
  • Chola Empire (Ancient Indians)
  • Ancient Indonesians
  • Ancient Sudanese

The Egyptian pyramids are the most famous. But the country with the most pyramids is actually Sudan.
Skilled workers the most important of whom were the stone masons. Thousands of slaves did the heavy unskilled labour. Most if not all of these slaves were naked.
Egyptians built the Pyramids. But who were they exactly?

A large number of people perhaps 10,000 to 30,000 at any one time
1. Skilled workers such as masons, carpenters, smiths (coppersmiths rather than blacksmiths), rope makers and surveyors. The most important were the masons.
2. the supervisors scribes, foremen in charge of the labour gangs
3. thousands of slaves, who were probably naked, did all the heavy and often dangerous unskilled work.


slaves but not Jewish slaves. The Biblical account, if it is to be believed, of the children of Israel in Egypt places them in the New Kingdom about 1500 years after the Giza pyramids were built.
the Egyptian people built the pyramids with the help of oxen

Thousands of slaves. This was an era of slave labour and none were more expert in directing their slaves than the ancient Egyptians. As many as 30,000 naked slaves toiled under the blazing Egyptian sun to build this monument to the ego of one man, the Pharaoh.

Approximately 4 500 years ago, Egypt came under the rule of the third dynasty kings.

This was the start of a 500-year golden age of prosperity and stability in ancient Egypt's history, known as the Old Kingdom.

The dynasty's second pharaoh, "Djoser" reined for only 19 years, he changed the face of Egypt forever by building the first pyramid.

His pyramid stood in in the desert region of Saqqara close to Memphis.

The pyramid was designed by Djoser's vizier{chief minister}.

His name was Imhotep and such was his genius that he was worshiped as a god of architects by the later generations of Egyptians.
