Best Answer

A pyramid was always built as a tomb for the king or Pharaoh.

The time it took depended on its size and the number of people employed to built it. The Great Pyramid of the 4th dynasty Pharaoh at Giza is said to have taken 14 to 20 years to build. Not that the Pharaoh did the work himself. That was left to his officials (the overseer of works, engineers and scribes), craftspeople (masons, carpenters, quarrymen and smiths) and thousands of slaves to do all the heavy labouring work.
