I wonder how many poor slaves had to be buried with him?

The wooden sheets were transported to the planned National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation for restoration and are expected to be put on display at the Nile hall when the museum is finished and opens its doors to the public next year.

That is, if Allah's purity army doesn't burn it and blow it to rubble.

Isn't Abu Rawash the site of Djedefre's dismantled pyramid? If you look at it in Google Earth (Lat: 30° 1'54.94"N, Long: 31° 4'30.12"E) there's just a big hole in the ground, but you can clearly see the footprint of the structure, a causeway, several supporting buildings and the remains of courtyard walls.

It must have been hard enough to build a pyramid in the first place, but to then completely take it apart?

“when the museum is finished and opens its doors to the public next year.”

Won’t happen.
