1. i;m not sure anyone knows how the pyramids were built

or by whom.

my u tube algorithm is heavy on the "ancient alien" content or is that everyone?.

[ornotna]

2. Someone has way too much free time on hand

4. It wasn't slave labor. It was skilled craft workers and ag workers in the off season They were paid in food and were

empowered enough to withhold their labor if they had higher demands.

9. And were contracted tombs for their families. Kinda big deal back then

[niyad]

5. Depends on which expert one consults. How does that poster

think they were built?

[Intractable]

6. Everyone knows, but no one will admit, it was the aliens. nt

[BannonsLiver]

7. Are we going to cancel the Pharaohs now?

[Melon]

8. Better not tell the Egyptians this....

[ColoringFool]

10. Yeah, nobody really does. But one way was not with slaves.....

which I suppose is the point of the Tweet.

And that's all I have to say about that! 😛 ("Edith Ann" )

11. Enslaved African Americans were a major part of the workforce that built the White House.

Just sayin.

12. According to records found from the era when they were built...

Workers were hired on a seasonal basis by the the pharaoh's court, local temples and skilled craftsman who brought the workers in, paid in beer, bread, and other goods, could bring their families, had hospital services and housing on the work site.

If they wanted to return home to work the family farm, business, or take care of family, they were paid what they had earned, and went home.
If they wanted to go back, they could.

Egyptians that weren't nobility, religious members, or wealthy landowners, trades or craftsfolk, were either paid servants or working class.

Slaves were criminals. Or uncivilized war prisoners.

So the Pharaoh really did not want slaves touching or doing anything that had to do with creating the memorial to His (or Her) greatness. Pharaoh wanted people who wanted to work for that greatness, not forced to.

Now, when the Greeks beat the Egyptians and took over the kingdom, they started using slave labor for public works.

But not the Egyptians.

13. Aliens?

[Raftergirl]

14. So, one can't root for the Egyptian soccer team because something that happened thousands of years

ago?

I hope this is a joke.

[niyad]

15. Soccer? The question in the OP is related to soccer?? SMH.

I guess that lets out the American and several other teams as well?
