The Great Pyramid of Giza was built by Egyptian laborers around 2560 BCE.

Is it true that the Great Pyramid of Giza was built by Egyptian laborers around 2560 BCE?

Unclear. Several reference and peer-reviewed sources attribute the Great Pyramid to the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu and his workforce during the Fourth Dynasty, placing construction in the mid-third millennium BCE, but none states the specific date of 2560 BCE. The evidence partially supports the claim's substance while leaving the precise date unconfirmed.
