Interestingly, Herodotus (2.124-125) believed that the pyramids were built by conscripted Egyptians who were supported by the king, which is probably correct. It wouldn't surprise me if the idea of slave workers comes from the Old Testament legends of the Jews being the king's slaves in Egypt.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
