    True. I also went from the assumption that slaves way back then = slaves in recent history.

    I like to think that being the pyramid engineer/architect for the current pharaoh at the time would have been even a lifetime job.

    If they were allowed to decide themselves what project to work on… I would really like to know that.

    Maybe they handed out pamphlets, promoting their skills.
