    There is evidence of a levy based job program, with wages paid in food, not coin, for some pyramids.

    So, you know, forced labor.

    Also, they would still have used regular slaves, because that’s literally what slaves are for, and the fuckin things were built over a period of a thousand years.

    Do you honestly think your “job program” looked the same that entire period?

      No? Why so hostile? I’m literally referring to other people who know more than I do on the topic.

      Do you have some particular attachment to it being slave labor? I just thought it was an interesting thing that the common conception of how they were built is believed to be incorrect by experts.
