      The professionals did the building. The slaves did the brick-making for the building, and probably a lot of other low skill things too.

        If we’re talking about the pyramids the amount of quality building material in there was not sourced from slavery. Egyptian used slavery in farming and in army and logistic matters, but these heavenly buildings were all pretty important. What we do know is that salvery was also an outcome of tye conquest of other areas and cultures, so they forced them into what was considered egyptian culture at the time. And it’s a damn long time span of many hundreds of years. We have so much documentation from the egpyptian kingdom. There are things that are more mysterious than the pyramids to me, temples and little oddities like the Osireion.
