There are some theories now that the pyramids were built long before the Egyptians. Also that they weren’t originally tombs, they were designed to harness some kind of energy (which has been forgotten). Very interesting stuff!
It’s impossible at this remove in time to be sure, but most historians believe that the pyramids were actually public-works projects that employed Egyptian workers for wages, rather than built by slave labor. By constantly infusing money into the hands of common people (who would spend it almost immediately), the pharaohs created a robust, thriving economy. Much the same happened in the USA during the Great Depression.

This isn’t real though, is it? If it was they’d be talking Egyptian…

Haven’t they dropped the notion that pyramids were built for burials?

In reality, not one pyramid has been shown to contain any bodies. In other words they were not tombs. We are still not sure what they were.

That they used logs to move the blocks from the quarry is believed to be accurate.

Easter Island used to have trees but the natives used the logs much the same way to erect the Moai.

On the bright side, it looks as if this might be the last block that needs to be put in place.
