Just because the Great Pyramids were built with slavery doesn't mean that slavery is okay, or that there is not a better way to build a pyramid.

how were they built?
"... labourers were recruited from farms, perhaps from a region much further down the Nile, near Luxor.

Don't be absurd, we are not talking about anything comparable to slavery.

I am asking - show me the person who found the better way.
