 | | Polish architect Wieslaw Kozinski believed that it took as many as 25 men to transport a 1.5-ton stone block; based on this, he estimated the workforce to be 300,000 men on the construction site, with an additional 60,000 off-site. |
 | | More recent research suggests that these may be overestimates, however; mathematician Kurk Mendelssohn, for instance, calculated that the labor force may have been 50,000 men at most, while Ludwig Borchardt and Louis Croon placed the number at 36,000. |
 | | According to modern Egyptologist Miroslav Verner, the general consensus today is that a labor force of no more than 30,000 was needed in the Great Pyramid's construction. |
