How Long Did It Take to Build the Egyptian Pyramids?

One of the world's greatest ancient wonders is the amazing Egyptian pyramids. The fact that they are still standing after more than 4,600 years is a testimonial to the strength of their construction. Archaeologists, engineers, and historians have admired the genius of these eternal buildings, as well as the mystery surrounding their construction. One of the most often asked topics is how long did it take the Egyptians to construct these massive monuments that have stood the test of time.
The fact is that no one truly knows how long it took to create the Egyptian Pyramids since they are so old and so little evidence of their construction exists. However, estimations claim that each pyramid took between 15 and 30 years to build. Around 118 distinct pyramids have been discovered across Egypt. The Pyramid of Djoser in Cairo is the oldest, while the Great Pyramid of Giza in the Giza Pyramid Complex is the largest and best-known. Depending on its size and design, as well as when it was erected, each one provided its own set of obstacles and timeframes for completion.

Well 10 seconds in and I hear 'the fact that they're still standing today is a testament to the power of their construction.' What?! Like where are they going to go? Once they're built it's not like they can fall over. The only thing that can damage these structures is erosion.

Egypt built pyramids way before 150 BC

For them to have built the great pyramid in about 22 years they would have had to cut, transport and set a block every 5 mins. How is that possible? I think the Egyptians found it and claimed it. They may have dressed it up some and put the pictures and writing in them and built some stuff around them but I don't think they built it. Just my opinion.

The distance in time between us and Jesus is about the same as between Jesus and the pyramids.
