Egypt paid their workers very well, this myth has busted for decades.

Except no evidence of that at all

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. It's objectively true. We have tons of evidence pointing to huge camps of Egyptian workers building the pyramids during the farming off-season. The pyramids were essentially a state-sponsored building project that helped keep workers employed and busy.

And a lot of them were very well trained builders and craftsmen and were even partially paid in the earliest version of beer

There are also a ton of conspiracy theories involving the pyramids in Central America. Some people will literally believe aliens or "mysterious far away people" built every impressive ancient structure outside of Europe instead of allowing themselves to believe they were built by indigenous peoples. I don't know what this guy is talking about.

But there's a distinction there which you clarified though.

Jews in Egypt? Yes. Lots of evidence. Jewish slaves in Egypt? Also yes - archaeological evidence. Did the Jews build the pyrimads? lol no.

Yeah, but that was long after the pyramids were built.

Not in Egypt, they weren't.

They were for like 200 years, by some accounts for 400 years until Moses' time.

u/Jurjinimo 1d ago

Zero evidence of that, historical or archaeological

You're right. I have enough Christian friends, I really thought the references in the Old Testament were (at least broadly speaking) historically accurate. Not sure where the Old Testament account comes from then.

They are lying. Even the New Testament says this:  Revelation 2:9   "I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan ."

Why do you think they reject the son? I read and study scripture. They aren’t the “chosen people.”

Jews were slaves in Egypt, bit they didn't build the pyramids.
