How can we know that the Great Pyramids weren´t built by slaves but by paid workers?
In: Other
Think of it like this: would you use slaves to build your pyramid with the technology of that era? It’s high tech, requiring the smartest people you have available. It can be exponentially more expensive if the workers make mistakes. Naturally you want them to make as few mistakes as possible. You don’t let slaves nowhere near the important stuff. At most, you employ them to haul food and water to the construction workers.
It’s like hiring people to develop the first atomic bomb. Who do you employ? The bottom half of recent graduates who you don’t have to pay much? Didn’t think so.
