Yeah i can see that, they travelled to earth with spaceship and other advanced technologies, then we beat them into submission using our pointy sticks and forced them to build shit for us
I kind of feel like you are being sarcastic. Obviously other aliens likely sent down their alien slaves to build these like as transmitters or receivers for communication or possibly marking for future detonation or maybe just to fuck with the locals.
I was just trying to extend JoeBigelow’s joke by suggesting that contrary to the actual pyramids, Abdelatty would actually not want to pay those who would assemble that Lego set.
So… they were free to move elsewhere and use that money for luxuries? They could go get another job?
Because being paid doesn’t mean you’re free. Or is the only type of legitimate slave the typical American kind? It’s not black and white, there’s nuances here. If the black slaves in America were paid, it wouldn’t have been slavery….? Because that’s the logic that’s being used.
It really just sounds like you’re trying to justify not calling people who aren’t free slaves when they still were by every other metric.
It sounds like you don’t know very much about how the pyramids were built, and aren’t interested in learning the truth. The workers who built the Pyramids engaged in some of the first labor actions in recorded history–they went on strike, multiple times, and were successful in securing higher pay and better working conditions. Many of the workers who worked on the tombs of kings were highly respected craftsmen in their own right, who often were given permission to build their own tombs nearby; in many cases, only a little bit less grand than the tombs built for the pharoahs themselves.
The Ancient Egyptians definitely practiced slavery, and also, they didn’t use slaves to build the pyramids. The slaves were doing things like growing food for the people who built the pyramids.
Pyramids weren’t built by slaves
While its been scientifically proven that it was indeed aliens, I don’t think anyone knows for certain that they weren’t alien slaves.
*alien prisoners with jobs
You know I hate the s-word

Until one of the aliens had finally had enough, killed a guy, then parted the Red Sea and led a bunch of slaves to freedom.
I mean, nobody is saying it was aliens. But it was aliens.
“Yes, I just hate paying people”
They were some of the best paid workers in ancient Egypt.

They didn’t have much other option, so what do you call that other than justified slavery?
They were paid, and rather well. It was a work program, like Roosevelt’s New Deal.

Maybe type a few words into Google before spouting uninformed bullshit like it’s fact.
The Bible is full of lies.
