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.
Although in past it was taught that most of the workers were slaves, recent (and not so recent) excavations show that the pyramids were mainly built by free Egyptians. Of course, the grandeur of the pyramids is related to the ancient Egyptian religion; that goes without saying.
