I tend to think the difference is that the people building it today don't need to build it, along with the lack of a work force. Necessity is a great motivator.

I also doubt they had hundreds and hundreds of workers doing manual labor as part of their taxes. And modern people had slightly different ideas of what acceptable labor is.

'Work force' doesn't automatically mean multiple hundreds of people.
