    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.

      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.

        people need to think than they have it better than people in the past did. it gives them motivation and a happy attitude, and as we all know, happy workers are more productive, so media lets them keep that attitude.

      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

        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.

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

    “PYRAMID.AI - Where eternity meets innovationTM

    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…”
