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.
They used RealVideo back in the day
Are we just gonna forget about the aliens who build pyramids from the tip down with their alien laser, guise? You’re erasing our history and heritage!!1!
Must be aliens.
They had slaves. A lot of slaves.
The pyramids being built with slaves is largely incorrect.
I suppose it was the hustler grindset
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.
Did they put the blocks into place with their economic activity?
… 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.
No, the workers literally put them into place but the economic activity around them provided the food and drink and whatnot to the labourers.
Just throw human death and suffering at them until they’re finished!
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.
The had whips, massive, massive whips.
It was a Pyramid scheme!
They planned ahead of decades of work rather than the next quarter
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
Just need another 21,000 people working on it
Still a better outcome to worker ratio,
They used the oldest trick in the book, wage theft
They probably just scrum pokered really well
Lots and lots of beer
Ha! You got me there. I was just about to complain that none mentioned slaves, then saw the comment that did mention them (together with aliens) which is (imho) even worst than ignoring their suffering… but here you are, making my day by reminding me that those slaves had a “fair” (/s) pay for their suffering-work :P
Maybe they organised a pizza lunch for the survivors
(Limit 1 per person)
Here come the slave and alien comments
Hear me out:
Alien slaves.
Slave alien. Slavien
Slavs for short
Oh I was thinking underground mole people and wizards but I like your idea better

No, it’s been established long ago that they were workers wirh wages.
Shhh! They and their upvoters want to feel the glow of being justice heroes without looking up from their phone.
Interesting. Learn something new everyday.
Should I correct the meme, or let it stand for context?
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.
You remember as you kid you might have stacked rocks or Lego bricks?
They basically did that with really really big rocks.
If you think about it, we never stopped.
Oh. That makes sense.
“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…”
Mmmm meat innovation
TAKE MY MONEY!
