Too bad no one gives a shit this is America tell me about how Irish people or whatever other race is still being targeted and murdered on a daily basis and tell me about the systemic racism that all of these other enslaved cultures are still being affected by today. That's what I thought.

That slaves built the pyramids is actually a misconception that was falsified a couple decades back or so. Those were free people.

Was a long time ago since I saw it now but essentially they had found old graves, records and homes of the workers that were not consistent with how slaves would have been treated.

If I don't have the links on hand, anyone's Google is as good as mine. I'm not here trying to convince people. If you don't believe me that's fine. I'm pointing it out as a curious piece of trivia related to the topic, I'm not using it as a central piece of some argument.

Egyptian history is a fickle thing. They had a penchant for straight up erasing things from records. King Tut? The weirdo who tried to move to monotheism?

You bet your ass if Pharaoh got btfod by a bunch of Jewish slaves theyre gonna be like uh...contractors. It was all contractors

but thats not even the biggest conspiracy regarding Egyptian history.

the thing we really need to ask ourselves is why wont historians release the evidence about the Pharaoh who was Japanese and defeated enemy nations with card games? RELEASE THE ATEM CUT!

Really didn't expect to have people require proper references when the most trivial search string leads you to a Wikipedia entry saying that the consensus among scholars is that slaves didn't build the pyramids.

Like I get if I were making some controversial statement but when it's so easily googlable and has been the consensus for years...

Even with Egyptians habit of erasing history, we still have found stuff in their history that got "erased". That is literally how we know they used to try to erase stuff. And despite all that, we have never found any evidence that anything in the Book of Exodus ever happened. Including Hebrews being mass enslaved in Egypt, or working on the pyramids

Anyway the current common consensus among Egyptologists is that it was considered a great honor to build the pyramids and people were eager to be on the work crews. Non Egyptians were forbidden from building pyramids directly because they didn't deserve it. It was as much a religious ritual as it was a patriotic act

Its hard to believe the backbreaking labor of making the pyramids in the desert in that short time frame (relatively speaking) was done with voluntary workers lol.

Yes, and I am sure we could have found many American slave owners who considered it a great honor for their slaves to work the fields.

It is true that we have found clear evidence of organized, paid work tied to the building of the pyramids. That is not the same thing as saying no slaves ever worked on the pyramids. Egypt had slaves. We might never know the full extent of their involvement in Egyptian history, but Im sure we will keep looking and learning about ourselves as a whole.

Yeah we know Egypt had slaves. No one is disputing that. But to our best knowledge, slaves didn't build the pyramids. Not sure why this is a tough one to swallow

Yes there has always been slavery but the transatlantic slave trade was the worlds most despicable slave trade that ever existed. Also theres a difference between chattel slavery and, say, enslaving POWs.

I know slaves exist, are an option and this is gonna be some of the hardest work ever done by man...but let's give them a break on this one. Lol.

This sounds like what someone believes who has never observed the behavior of another human lol. I'm just gonna wait until the "You know, slaves didn't actually build America" argument comes around.

No specific race in the US is actually being targeted and no one who hasn't been brainwashed by media is actually scared of the government.

Do you think Chinese women in China would dare get on top of military tanks and start twerking? No, because that is what fear and oppression looks like.
