‘Bout to blow your mind.
They weren’t built by slaves, most likely the brute labour was local farmers with little to do during the flood season. They were treated well. A lot is highly skilled craftsmanship.
They were masters with specialist tools which we’ve barely begun to scratch the surface of, these monuments are not dumb piles of rocks.
The proof is in the work: you see signatures of extremely thin saw blades with FAST feed rates, so fast they overcut by INCHES - by hand that would be a whole day’s sawing. You see very high torque/low speed drilling, extremely precise surface and angle work, complex joinery. Painstakingly shaping very hard stones to mate perfectly to the naturally weathered surfaces of softer stones - completely ass-backwards, at least to us with our techniques.
Interior chamber layouts demonstrate complex knowledge of acoustics, possibly industrial chemistry and metallurgy.
This is not done by hand tools made from copper by simple people and it’s all probably MUCH older than ~4500 years.
