They had slaves. A lot of slaves.

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

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 difference is the pyramids exist

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

... yes, labor is generally a pretty key piece of economic activity. There's extensive archeological evidence about the processes of Ancient Egyptian economics, including discussions of obligation, payment, negotiation, etc.

“PYRAMID.AI - Where eternity meets innovation^TM^
We’re not just stacking stones, we’re building the blockchain of eternity.
Legacy monuments are stuck in the past with zero data, zero scalability, and zero cloud integration, while humanity still lacks a truly iconic, scalable, and AI-optimized monument for the Web0 era. PYRAMID.AI is leveraging proprietary AI-driven algorithms to design, optimize, and construct next-gen pyramids at scale. With our neural net, you can…”

Not slaves
wrote on last edited by [email protected]The masons and other specialized workers were paid, and there is a theory that many of the laborers living near Giza were paid, but no one actually knows if they were. What is known, is that slaves were used in that era, and thinking they weren't at least used in transportation of materials is naive.
