Pyramids were built primarily by paid labor. They weren't a simple task that could be entrusted to PoWs and the poor. They were grand undertakings of extreme skill and intense devotion to both gods and the Pharaoh.

Do you even realize what I was talking about? I was talking about MOST Egyptian monuments, from simple statues of soldiers to pyramids of Pharaohs who exploited and defended slave labor and ordered entire armies to keep the slaves in place

There is no historical backing for the claims of a mass exodus of Hebrew slaves, or even a mass enslavement of Hebrews, in Egypt, much less their use in building pyramids.

Archaeology. The planned urban quarters of the workforce near the Giza Pyramid alone, much less the complex structure itself, indicate a valuable and skilled workforce; as well as local burials and artifacts. Furthermore, contrary to popular belief, slavery wasn't that big in Egypt. It was much easier to abuse the peasantry, feudal style.

One has very recent sociopolitical implications for our countey, amd were built at a time when many millions of Americams were denied fundamental rights, including many still alive today.
The others were built fucking thousands of years ago and have no social bearing on any group of people alive today.
If you cannot see the difference, you are being deliberately obtuse.
