I downvoted your initial post because, even if I don't think information restriction is right, I don't think it's on the same moral level as slavery. And additionally, modern archeologists don't believe the workers constructing the pyramids were slaves as such. They were citizens working for the state. In some theories, the arrangement is arguably a form of slavery, but I think we'd usually call the arrangement serfdom, and consider it differently in a historical context. And I downvoted your subsequent posts because I always downvote people complaining about downvotes. It's offtopic, and usually pointless.

Thanks for letting me know about that, and kindly took the time to provide your reasoning to justify your downvoting... Well, as I previously stated, that there were multiple concurrent downvotings cast to my multiple posts on this topic, all in a short period of time, and then there weren't many downvotings afterwards...this well synchronized pattern, occurring multiple times, would make one to think, there is a certain level of dependencies behind these actions (and in short, from a statistical point of view, a normal distribution can be normal only because its data are independent -- and by standard normal distribution, we could maximize our information output -- and I thought that is the goal of this forum)... There had been known information manipulation effected by the Chinese government over many information outlets even outside that country -- so combined with my previously stated observation, I have enough reason to doubt that the coordinated downvoting is a manipulated result...even if there is only one downvote from you -- as there are more than two downvotings, without giving a single word of counter-argument, until your post.... As for the second point, either "slavery" or "serfdom" is only a term, used to describe the situation of severe economic inequality in a society...and this inequality, and information manipulation are my argument points -- actually, I am more interested in the current situation in China than that in the ancient Egypt... As for the third point, > modern archeologists don't believe the workers > constructing the pyramids were slaves as such do you have more hard evidences? In an academic setting, we always try to compose novel theories -- they may be correct, and they may be wrong...I just feel we should have more evidences in order to prove any point have a long lasting truth in it, but not just by a single study... Lastly, it's okay for you to downvote my post about the fact that my posts were downvoated...even if you are going to downvote that based on the sole reason that you took it for complaining or so, I am still going to voice out my observation there...
