Yeah i can see that, they travelled to earth with spaceship and other advanced technologies, then we beat them into submission using our pointy sticks and forced them to build shit for us
I was just trying to extend JoeBigelow’s joke by suggesting that contrary to the actual pyramids, Abdelatty would actually not want to pay those who would assemble that Lego set.
So… they were free to move elsewhere and use that money for luxuries? They could go get another job?
Because being paid doesn’t mean you’re free. Or is the only type of legitimate slave the typical American kind? It’s not black and white, there’s nuances here. If the black slaves in America were paid, it wouldn’t have been slavery….? Because that’s the logic that’s being used.
It really just sounds like you’re trying to justify not calling people who aren’t free slaves when they still were by every other metric.
“I’m gonna make SO many slaves build this!”
Pyramids weren’t built by slaves
While its been scientifically proven that it was indeed aliens, I don’t think anyone knows for certain that they weren’t alien slaves.

I mean, nobody is saying it was aliens. But it was aliens.
“Yes, I just hate paying people”
They were some of the best paid workers in ancient Egypt.

They didn’t have much other option, so what do you call that other than justified slavery?
They were paid, and rather well. It was a work program, like Roosevelt’s New Deal.
