> we can say with some confidence how many people were required to build it
When someone claims that "by appealing to simple physics" they can say "with confidence" how many people were involved in a construction from almost 5000 years ago I have to doubt anything that follows is more than pure speculation.
The problem is too complex for simple physics to provide any relevant answer. The same simple physics would have us believe 14000 strong men could throw a tiny 1Kg object straight into orbit.
