Egypt
About 2,200,000 stone blocks, stacked in 210 rows, were used to build the pyramid of Cheops.
The evidence suggests the Pyramid of Cheops was constructed with about 2.5 million stone blocks, contradicting the claim of 2,200,000. Additionally, the pyramid originally had 210 stone layers, confirming part of the claim. Both claims demonstrate a need for precise figures, with expert sources disagreeing slightly from the stated claim.
