    I don’t understand the facepalm. The pyramids didn’t build themselves, they are where they are because they are where civilization and slaves were. Have you seen the rest of Egypt? Not sure where you’d expect people to settle if not on the Nile and it’s flood plains, and not sure where you’d expect modern day Egyptians to move to.

      The pyramids weren’t built with slave labour - common misconception.

      Yeah, but I’d have expected the nearby cities to be like abandoned and broken for some reason.

      I’ve traveled a lot of the world, including South Africa and Madagascar, but no I’ve never made it to Egypt.
