    Just because they didn’t have modern technology doesn’t mean they didn’t have any technology. They could have used Skype for videoconferencing.

    They had slaves. A lot of slaves.

      The pyramids being built with slaves is largely incorrect.

        Maybe not the “build the pyramid” itself. Just maybe. But all the transportation, accomodations and food for the builders surely came from slaves.

          Not necessarily. Most people would have been nominally free, and most economic activity would have come from them.

    They planned ahead of decades of work rather than the next quarter

      Apparently, Giza had 20,000 laborers in addition to 16,000 support staff working on the pyramid over 20 to 30 years.

      The California High Speed Rail is the only thing comparable in the USA and that has only required 15,000 jobs since 2015.

    They were most likely built differently depending on the current Egyptian civilizations’ take on man power/ economy.

        The masons and other specialized workers were paid, and there is a theory that many of the laborers living near Giza were paid, but no one actually knows if they were. What is known, is that slaves were used in that era, and thinking they weren’t at least used in transportation of materials is naive.
