How do you think the pyramids were built?

Also, some of the people who were making the pyramids were possibly paid, maybe not all the slaves but maybe some; I have to check my source.


The architects and project heads ARE paid. Although, even if we say slave, it's more of a volunteer work. At that time, the pharaoh was regarded as god, so the Ancient Egyptian masses think of it as a mission from God, and not necessarily do it against their will.

No, I'm pretty sure at least half of them were forced to as slaves. =D

 

Really neat picture in my World History book showing how they ship the limestone(?) slabs on boats, then have slaves DRAG them across a ROAD ALLLL the way to the Pyramid and up its ramps. And then to see pyramids collapsing....
