    Maybe not the "build the pyramid" itself. Just maybe. But all the transportation, accomodations and food for the builders surely came from slaves.

    Not necessarily. Most people would have been nominally free, and most economic activity would have come from them.

                  Levitation and teleportation technology. We're devolving not evolving people.

                        Just because they didn't have modern technology doesn't mean they didn't have any technology. They could have used Skype for videoconferencing.

                          This is why we shouldn't overly glamorize the past.

                              Apparently, Giza had 20,000 laborers in addition to 16,000 support staff working on the pyramid over 20 to 30 years.

                              The California High Speed Rail is the only thing comparable in the USA and that has only required 15,000 jobs since 2015.

                                    The hell of one idea that just won't die. It was created out of thin air by sheer force of racist speculation, and known to be wrong for close to a century. Yet people still keep repeating it.

                                      They had their own workflow optimization which was do it or die. That can motivate some people.

                                          Did they put the blocks into place with their economic activity?
