Wait, how did they feed 100,000 people daily? What was the supply chain like? And did they work year-round or seasonally during flood season? The logistics seem almost harder to explain than the construction itself!
The article seems incomplete (cuts off mid-sentence) but this is an important topic. Recent studies using computational modeling and limestone quarry analysis have actually suggested lower workforce estimates than traditional estimates. The efficiency of Egyptian quarrying and transport systems was extraordinary for the time.|
I visited Giza last year and standing in front of the Khufu pyramid was genuinely humbling. The precision of those blocks is mind-blowing. Whether it was 100,000 or 200,000 workers, what strikes me most is the incredible coordination and planning required. Truly remarkable.
"Numerical shock"? More like clickbait. These estimates have been debated for centuries. Ancient Egypt had sophisticated engineering and organization, yes, but the headline makes it sound like some revolutionary discovery when archaeologists have been discussing workforce numbers for decades.
This is fascinating! 100,000 workers seems almost impossibly low given the sheer scale of the Great Pyramid. I'd love to see the actual calculations behind this number. Are we talking about peak workforce or average over the entire construction period?
