COST OF CHEOPS PYRAMID.
It Could Not Be Duplicated Today For
- Less Than $100,000,000.
One of the piost. familiar questions
asked by "personally conducted" tour
ists visiting Europe and the great pyr
amid built by Cheops is, "I wouder
how much it
cost to build?"
A building con
tractor with a
bead for figures
and building es
timates has es
timated that the
Cheops pyramid
. c o u ld not be
duplicated today for less than $100,
000,000. With modern machinery and
the employment of 40,000 stonecutters,
haulers, quarrymen, masons and la
borers a duplicate of , the pyramid
could be erected in two years. It has
been calculated that the work really
required the services of 100,000 men
for thirty years.
The Cheops pyramid occupies ' a
space of twelve and three-quarter
acres, is 740 feet high and contains
143,315,000 cubic yards of stone and
granite. The material nlone represents
an item of $3(1.000,000, while the labor
would increase this amount by $72,
000,000. To thfs must be added $3,
000,000 for tools, transportation and
similar items. The pyramid is built
on a solid rock 150 feet deep, and to
build a foundation of this character
would add to the cost to the extent of
making the total of $100,000,000.;. ,
