This photo is a fake. I have calculated the math here. There are around 18 men lifting a block here. Each block in Giza pyramid weigh around 2.5 tonnes. An average man can lift around 50 KGS. When you put in the numbers, 18 men can lift only 900 KGS. So obvious fakery.

Kids these days are just so lazy, back then the average man could lift way more weight
