Why do we assume the workers were slaves? Recent historical evidence suggest they were paid, skilled workers. I'll have to check my browsing history for that reference.

In the absence of the abundant power largely available through fossil fuels to which we have become accustomed today, consider the ingenuity and efficiency that the ancients would employ. Thousands of slaves? Tens of thousands? How would they be fed? Organised? What would be done for their sanitation? Ten thousand slaves with dysentery would be a fat lot of use. What evidence is there that this purported large number of people was put to work and accommodated in the area?

Remember that 'academics' have attempted to teach us that the pyramids were built using a ramp which would have had to have been bigger than the pyramid itself, which is clearly preposterous. What is also clear is that these wise-guy egyptologists didn't have the faintest clue and made stuff up based on the prejudices of their time. By some miracle, this nonsense ended up getting taught in schools.

The pyramids do give us tantalising evidence and clues to how they may have been constructed. That's part of what makes them so fascinating.

For straight parts that could be but many of the scoops are very bend, making it hard to be caused by a drill.

This is no normal chisel work, right? I would think so.


This is the base of the obelisk where it still attaches to the rock, you can see the scoops come down from the left and at the base it goes to the right:

DownwardsFZ, workers or slaves: maybe there is a grey area in between?
Wall images seem to indicate battles against other 'nations' of that time, it was not all peaceful a period it seems. Maybe the workers/slaves were the prisoners? Then on the other hand tales are out that they workers were payed, and even went to strike for more rights etc but what is true? Maybe it was a mixed affair?

What blows my mind is that looks like granite, not limestone. Those pics are incredible Jees!
The underside of the obelisk looks like someone took their hand and scooped out a bunch of peanut butter out of a large jar and scraped it up the side.

It's sandstone, AFAIK. Jees, you were there?


Sounds like modern life!
