I find the pyramids fascinating and hypnotic, as I think many people around the world do. It is fun to look at the commonly accepted history and to compare and contrast this with peoples alternate theories. There are so many that i'm not sure the societies consensus still resides with the normal history anymore, at least for the three great pyramids.
One thing that has been found by the science and egyptology community recently was that the masons who built the great pyramids of Giza we not slaves and in fact were some of the best paid and respected people of the city. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-1119792
These findings don't want to believe that the Great Pyramids, the first one of the best quality, were built by slaves. I don't like the idea, given my knowledge of people and economies today it just does not seem realistic. The slaves are not motivated, the army that you need to keep the slaves inline is huge, they have to be paid, they are not actually contributing to the building, you need to do this over generations, someone going to revolt, easily sabotage the project. It is just a huge problem considering where do you get the money and resources from. How you sustain the project to completion after the Pharaoh dies? you need a very intrenched culture to uphold this Pharaoh Hierarchy and we know that maintaining such an order is very difficult. We couldn't build such things now with slaves. We would even struggle if we could find the money to pay people well.
I find it more plausible that they were built by natural agreement of people who had developed an intergenerational low-time preference builder culture. This idea that one unquestionable selfish and self absorbed figure and controlling organisation can cause huge human work efforts. The concept that the team ethic and a long term altruistic perspective are much greater achievers. Examples of cathedrals in recent times compare more favourably to me, where the pyramid projects are considered projects of the society to the benefit many.
Further to this the slave story is a psychological operation designed to trick people into believing that they are better when they are told what to do. It lulls people into accepting slavery and that why the iconography is continued on the the dollar, the sly mechanism they used to bring slavery back. Its a story told by creeps, and whats with the eye?
To continue the metaphor and swap it around with our new money. The bitcoin pyramid, is not evil like the fiat one, it is a beacon signifying the singular powers of decentralised, intergenerational low-time preference builder culture. We might have to build another one to prove it.
