The Great Pyramid has an estimates 2.3 million 6 ton blocks and was built over a period of 27 years. Just doing the math shows they would have had to place one block every 6 minute.
2,300,000 / 27 = 85,185 blocks a year
85,185 / 365 = 233 blocks a day
233 / 24 = 9.7 blocks an hour, round that to 10.
So 10 blocks an hour or 1 block every 6 minutes for 27 years. Not counting time off for nights and whatnot.
I know they used a lot of people, somewhere in the tens of thousands, but this seems fast. Am I missing something?
