The current understanding is actually that the builders would have been paid.

Well then probably paid from the profits of slavery. That much labor could not have been cheap.
Also I imagine they had divisions of labor. The guys who knew how to calculate the angle of the triangle or artisans who could shape the stone were probably not the same guys pushing rocks.

It was all a pyramid scheme, obviously.
psycho_driver@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Those are the reasons we’ll never build anything like that again.

they used slaves :(
sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
While slaves were almost certainly involved, a lot of the labor was likely Corvee Labor. Less like chattel slavery and more like taxes in the form of labor.

Everyone goes to drop off a brick once a week?

Contrary to popular belief, it wasn’t slaves who built the pyramids. We know this because archaeologists have located the remains of a purpose-built village for the thousands of workers who built the famous Giza pyramids, nearly 4,500 years ago.

While I think the evidence they cite is rather weak it’s well agreed upon that the workers were paid and enjoyed elevated status in society

but we can’t even have that anymore
Bamboodpanda@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
You sure can! Just contact CoreCivic, GEO Group, or MTC for all your legal slavery needs!

Rockstar [property] developers.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
If the game developer Rockstar made them, they’d look like a dick and two balls instead of just 3 pyramid shaped pyramids.

Evolution over revolution: the best to ever come into existence was the human. And nobody ever used kanban for it
scytale@piefed.zip 3 weeks ago
Kanban probably.

FIFO & JIT production ethos, definitely.
Gotta maintain agility!
