It was skilled artisans working seasonally. Some of them even had tombs near the pyramids, with status much higher than a slave. They might have overseen some slaves, though, that's hard to rule out.

i want to know if there is more to it

>>3193264
have they ever used this radar on pyramids?

>also slavery general. because they get shit done

true. But they didn't get the pyramids done

Actually slaves are terrible workers, generating around 30% of the output of a free worker. They only make economic sense in pre-feudal societies with a large food surplus, and even then they tend to cause unemployment and hardship for working class freemen.

and you end up with niggers fucking shit up 400 years later

Stargates are in the pyramids. They lead to Mars, somewhere near Orion, Venus(its colonized by people who are virtually indistinguishable from humans) the center of the Earth(its actually hollow) and for some strange reason my bathroom. This is how I know this. But contrary to what you would suspect, the people who are maintaining the secrecy of these Stargates aren't the typical fodder of conspiracy theories. They are the children of archaeologists who discovered such things and museum owners and their ilk. They're pretty cool about it and don't kill people who find out they've pretty much got everything on lockdown. I was informed simply because one of the gates actually leads to my bathroom shower.

Imagine you're a Pharaoh.
You decide to build a huge pyramid in monument to yourself (a god who walks the earth) and to house your body when you die.
Do you really care about "wasting space"?

>[slaves] only make economic sense in pre-feudal societies
Funny, then, that slavery was common through feudal times, and people made fortunes in the slave trade and using slave labor well after the end of feudalism.

pics of your bathroom shower please

if i was a pharaoh and wanted to build a monument dedicated to myself, i'd have tons of secret rooms and mechanism within them, hoping someone smart would figure everything out in future.

There was much more to it, but only on the outside.

They were covered with polished white limestone and capped with gold. They look like shit now because people looted the surface for high-quality building materials.

The point of secret rooms was that people WOULDN'T figure everything out.

After all, who would even go into a mausoleum but a grave robber?

Not in feudal economies, they didn't. Slavery was common in the middle ages, but it was common in the Islamic world which ran a pre-feudal economic system. You could claim serfdom is a kind of slavery, but you'd be wrong, and actual slavery was vanishingly rare in feudal Europe, as it is in all feudal societies.

that's only the case if i put a shit load of treasure in it and i didn't want anyone to find out. i don't think you understand the mentality of people building secret rooms. i would be providing a fun/dangerous real life game for those who dare to search, but with the ultimate reward at the end. if you knew that you would find every single detail about our universe, then wouldn't you want to search for these rooms?

k, im glad you gave us the indisputable truth from your perfect knowledge or i would have been confused

>i don't think you understand the mentality of people building secret rooms.
YOU don't understand the mentality of people building secret rooms. It was to avoid having their graves desecrated.

If you want to talk about YOUR OWN mentality in fantasizing about building secret rooms, then go ahead. But secret rooms are not normally built for such whimsical reasons.

>>3193965
because graves being desecrated is a big deal right?

>>3193983
Uh, it is, to the people who would BUILD THESE ROOMS.

>>3193983
To most people? Yes, grave desecration is a pretty big deal.

To the pharoahs? Undoubtedly. In their religion, their corporeal bodies had to be protected and provisioned for their souls to be comfortable in the afterlife.

You don't spend fortunes like that on a grave because you're indifferent to the disposition of your corpse.

There is nothing strange is pyramids. They are just big building to house the pharaohs massive dick and balls.

There once was a pharaoh, he was like: "Boys do you know what would be cool?" "What if we build this pyramid to house my corpse after i die so that i can continue to afterlife smoothly." Because only the pharaohs opinion mattered they went on and build this pyramid.

Now the next pharaoh came along and was like: "Shit that pyramid is cool, i want one but it needs to be even better." After that it just became a massive dick waving contest where the pharaoh wanted to beat previous pharaohs and to show of to the people and neighbours of egypt. Some build big while others build expensive.

The result of this contest we can see today in the form of massive pyramids.
That is the explanation why pyramids exists. Modern day equivalents would be something along the lines of Mount Rushmore, Olympic games, Burj Khalifa and other similar things.
