Actually, it was constructed slowly, with a lot of rock and to the dismay of many slaves.

But iof you would like the real answer, you should go to the website:

which explains how all the pyramids were built, has a lot of diagrams and pictures, and covers the entire subject in great, and exhaustive, detail.

Good luck, and enjoy the site!

The Great Pyramid was built as a tomb for Fourth dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu (hellenized as Χεωψ, Cheops), and is sometimes called Khufu's Pyramid or the Pyramid of Khufu.

back-breaking, manual labor work from the Egyptians?

Egyptologist Miroslav Verner posited that the labor was organized into a hierarchy, consisting of two gangs of 1000 men, divided into five zaa or phyle of 200 men each, which may have been further divided according to the skills of the workers. Some research suggests alternate estimates to the accepted workforce size. For instance, mathematician Kurt Mendelssohn calculated that the workforce may have been 50,000 men at most, while Ludwig Borchardt and Louis Croon placed the number at 36,000. According to Verner, a workforce of no more than 30,000 was needed in the Great Pyramid's construction
