When were the Egyptian pyramids built?

Archaeologists believe Egypt's large pyramids are the work of the Old Kingdom society that rose to prominence in the Nile Valley after 3000 B.C. Historical analysis tells us that the Egyptians built the Giza Pyramids in a span of 85 years between 2589 and 2504 BC.

As a useful rough guide - Egyptians 3,000 years BC, Greeks 300 years BC and Romans 30 years BC.

Irene Townsend, there were no Hebrew slaves, that has been proven false. They were built by well paid and well cared for stone masons

Irene Townsend

Built most likely by the Hebrew slaves

There are many different Egyptian pyramids the question should be specific to the Giza pyramids.

Built by alien technology in 500AD [I saw it on Discovery!]

David Stokes, and your degree? Archeology is studied as I took it in college. They don't sharpieville gang it.. The essays they right have to be so perfect. I was a honor students my English and essays were 4.0. Yet I made a B on my archeology essay. So one can't just say with any credibility without real study disagree with their dates. I can't either.. Though did figure out as did another woman the volcano in Yellowstone is not dead but asleep
