Pharoahs had absolute power, and here is how it worked. He had hundreds of people who reported to him each day. One of these would be very much like an architectural staff today. Imagine the Trump Tower. The Donald didn't build it or even design it... he just conceived the idea. Then he brought the best minds together to make his tower a reality. Here is where Mr. . Trump differs. Mr Trump can say " You're fired!!" if he doesn't like what he sees. A pharoah, on the other hand, could have all of the workers at the pyramid killed if he didn't like the work being done or the progress of the work. Maybe he just woke up in a bad mood. That would justify the killing of hundreds of peoplle. He had absolute power, and no one in his right mind would question it. His chief architects would suffer the same fate if the pharoah was not hapoy. Workers at the pyramids worked under an overseer. If they slowed down just a little, they were killed. Since most worked 14-16 hours a day, this didn't happen often, They simply dropped dead from exhaustion.

The pharaohs commissioned the building of the pyramids. All the pharaoh had to do was say "Hey, build me a pyramid" and everyone would start working on it. The pharaoh would also have to provide the money and labor to get the project started. He also probably picked the chief architect.

The pharaoh was never involved in the actual making of a pyramid. In fact, many pyramids took so long to complete, some pharaohs never even saw the pyramids completed. They commissioned a pyramid for themselves and had designers and architects design it.

Well, in the book of Moses, the Pharoah told the Israelites through Moses, that because of their desire to be set free of their taskmasters, they would now make bricks without straw. Moses was a master builder and he was in charge of a major project. But the Pharoah would be similar to the Mayor vs. the City Planner, Project Managers and various contractors and crews. The Pharoah would be trying to put his own image on the design of the planned city and tombs and cut costs. In this case he conscripted slave labor and was harsh in his requirements because he wielded a highly totalitarian power structure built on brute force. There are many interesting theories about this and I have given you a link that estimates the actual number of men, the construction teams, their make-up and their skill requirements.
