    Let's gather together to figure out what went wrong. First off, hay they only waited for Microsoft technology, they could have built millions if not billions of these towers in coordination with the aliens who actually did all the work and while using our very secret 7th hand. You and I know about it but we must not let machines know.

      While Egypt did practice slavery, evidence suggests the pyramids were built by well-fed craftsmen.

      I know BBC isn't the best source, but it's fine for this purpose: https://www.sciencefocus.com/science/were-the-egyptian-pyramids-built-by-slaves

        State-run media with a conservative bias (despite the conservatives being their greatest threat). They're fine for this type of reporting, but they immediately roll over whenever a conservative accuses them of reporting reality, and any reporting on a perceived enemy is hilariously distorted.

              According to our internal call and subsequent meetings, we need to leverage the most recent rock technology in order to raise the level of productivity and the scalability of our pyramid business.

                          I hope you're not taking info from christian piblications. These were professionals who lived in a dedicated settlement.

                          The professionals did the building. The slaves did the brick-making for the building, and probably a lot of other low skill things too.

                            No, it's been established long ago that they were workers wirh wages.

                              Or daily scrum. But to be fair they did originate standup meetings.

                                    Conservatives complain about biased reporting by the BBC constantly. It isn’t perfect, but they are doing an okay job mostly.

                                      If we're talking about the pyramids the amount of quality building material in there was not sourced from slavery. Egyptian used slavery in farming and in army and logistic matters, but these heavenly buildings were all pretty important. What we do know is that salvery was also an outcome of tye conquest of other areas and cultures, so they forced them into what was considered egyptian culture at the time. And it's a damn long time span of many hundreds of years. We have so much documentation from the egpyptian kingdom. There are things that are more mysterious than the pyramids to me, temples and little oddities like the Osireion.

                                        Dunno what you mean by adjust, but if it were me I would just take it down since it just doesn't apply to the situation. The response comments are probably enough context.

                                          Like you mentioned, Ancient Egypt did have slavery, so even if there's evidence of temporary villages for paid workers, it's very hard to believe slaves were also not involved as well on projects of this scale.

                                          Even on the hardly off chance that there were 0 slaves near the pyramid, the whole material gathering and transport job to the pyramid site was an insanely huge amount of labour as well.

                                          Yeahhh, even if the evidence suggests otherwise, might as well cry SLAVES! cuz maybe there were - and possible evil should be called out even if we don't know, right? Unless you ever innocently go to prison for being Probably guilty. But oh well.
