“PYRAMID.AI - Where eternity meats innovation^TM^
We’re not just stacking stones, we’re building the blockchain of eternity.
Legacy monuments are stuck in the past with zero data, zero scalability, and zero cloud integration, while humanity still lacks a truly iconic, scalable, and AI-optimized monument for the Web0 era. PYRAMID.AI is leveraging proprietary AI-driven algorithms to design, optimize, and construct next-gen pyramids at scale. With our neural net, you can…”
They had their own workflow optimization which was do it or die. That can motivate some people.
Never underestimate the power of water cooler interactions -C suite
Taxes on land ownership, not work.
The daily scrum probably helped
Scrum looks like a shortened or cleaned-up version of another word
I was thinking it looked like a longer version of another word.
Add 2 letters. Or take 2 away.
Scrumptious?
Just because they didn't have modern technology doesn't mean they didn't have any technology. They could have used Skype for videoconferencing.
They used RealVideo back in the day
This is why we shouldn't overly glamorize the past.
Levitation and teleportation technology. We're devolving not evolving people.
They used the oldest trick in the book, wage theft
They planned ahead of decades of work rather than the next quarter
Apparently, Giza had 20,000 laborers in addition to 16,000 support staff working on the pyramid over 20 to 30 years.
The California High Speed Rail is the only thing comparable in the USA and that has only required 15,000 jobs since 2015.
The difference is the pyramids exist
Maybe they organised a pizza lunch for the survivors
They had slaves. A lot of slaves.
The hell of one idea that just won't die. It was created out of thin air by sheer force of racist speculation, and known to be wrong for close to a century. Yet people still keep repeating it.
The pyramids being built with slaves is largely incorrect.
I suppose it was the hustler grindset
Maybe not the "build the pyramid" itself. Just maybe. But all the transportation, accomodations and food for the builders surely came from slaves.
Not necessarily. Most people would have been nominally free, and most economic activity would have come from them.
Did they put the blocks into place with their economic activity?
... yes, labor is generally a pretty key piece of economic activity. There's extensive archeological evidence about the processes of Ancient Egyptian economics, including discussions of obligation, payment, negotiation, etc.
Just throw human death and suffering at them until they're finished!
Lots and lots of beer
Here come the slave and alien comments
Hear me out:
Alien slaves.
Slave alien. Slavien
Oh I was thinking underground mole people and wizards but I like your idea better
Are we just gonna forget about the aliens who build pyramids from the tip down with their alien laser, guise? You're erasing our history and heritage!!1!
They probably just scrum pokered really well
They clearly used AOL Instant Messenger 🙄👌
I bet they used waterfall.
A wizard did it
They were most likely built differently depending on the current Egyptian civilizations' take on man power/ economy.
