When you say “attributed ” do you mean that we don’t know for sure ? Yes . There are no official inscriptions whatsoever on inside or outside of this pyramid . It is only circumstantial deviance , The inscriptions in the mastabas surrounding the pyramid , make several references to the name of Khufu . None of these references , however , refer specifically to Khufu as the builder of the pyramid . The Greek historian . Herodotus , attributed this pyramid to Khufu , based on the information provided to him by his priest informant , who was conveying information at least 2,000 years after the pyramid was built .

Who are the people who built the Khufu Pyramid ? Almost Almost no historical information exists about the builders if the pyramids , The alleged “tyranny of Cheops (Khufu ) ” cited by the Greek historian Herodotus ( C.500B.c.) , was generally accepted , and even elaborated upon , by non-factually writers .
Firstly , there is no evidence to suggest that people were compelled to work against their will . Indeed , if anything , the opposite more probable . Upon rational reflection , it is reasonable ti suppose that they labored willingly . This is not hard to comprehend once the notion of the pyramid being a tomb is dismissed .The sheer quality of craftsmanship in the construction the pyramids suggested a prides suggested a pride in the work .
Secondly , rational scholars challenged the notion of slave labor m since managing such huge numbers of disgruntled slaves , gathered in one small area , would have been a potentially explosive task .
Thirdly , Herodotus reported that his Egyptian guide told him that Khufu’s predecessor , Snefru , was a good king . Yet the three mighty pyramids at Dahshur and Meidum , attributed so Snefru , required much more stones and labor than that required for the Great pyramid itself . This is a major contradiction in Herodotus’ accountant of the “tyrant” sand “good ” Kings .
At the finish how can i answer next questions about the evidences about Khufu’s Pyramid:
This is too much evidence .
You now know the hard facts , based on the elements of the “common theory ” of stone cutting , hauling , and hoisting , how can we logically answer the following question : 1 – How did they manage to make the sloping sides of he pyramids absolutely flat ? 2 – How did they make the four sloping sides meet at a perfect point at the summit? 3 – How did they make the tiers so level ? 4 – How did they cut the stones , so that they fit together so precisely ? 5 – What tools did they use ? 6 – How could the required number of workers (estimated at 240-300,000 people) maneuver on the confined building site ? 7 – How did they cut the blocks so uniform ? 8 – How did they place some of the heaviest blocks in the pyramid , at such great heights ? 9 – How wee 115,000 casing blocks all made to fit to hair’s breadth and closer ? 10 – How was all the work done in about 20 years ??
