> So, while archaeologists still have much to learn about the people who built the pyramids and how the work was organized and executed, it is easy to throw out this basic misconception. The pyramids were built by Egyptians.
There are over 100 pyramids in Egypt, build over a time span of at least a thousand years. How can we be so sure that not one of them had foreign slaves working on the construction?
- Ozzie_osman 6y agoI think the article is primarily focused on the Great Pyramids, though they probably could have been more explicit about it.

When the article asks "Did slaves build the pyramids?", interpreting that question as "Was there a single slave among the people who built the pyramids?" is not a very meaningful or useful interpretation of the question.
