Gender: Male. Usage: Gaius, of Latin origin, is not a popular first name. It is more often used as a boy (male) name. People having the name Gaius are in general originating from France, Greece, United Kingdom. Meaning:
Herodotus was told by his Egyptian guides that it took twenty years for a force of 100,000 oppressed slaves to build the pyramid (with another 10 years to build a stone causeway that connected it to a temple in the valley below). Stones were lifted into position by the use of immense machines.
However, it is clear, given the volume of work required to construct the Great Pyramid, that more workers were needed. These workers were probably helpers, and if slaves were used at all, they would have probably been included in this larger workforce.
