Carrot stick ping.

Göbekli Tepe in Turkey is absolutely amazing and was built 14,000 years ago, then buried.

The whole proposition that the pyramids were built without slave labor is absurd leftwingnut bizzarro agitprop.

See Keynes and the Pyramids. The article is also available as an mp3 audio recording. The author rips Zahi Hawass, the Egyptian antiquities "expert" we see on television so often and makes him look like a fool.

Great Pyramid tombs unearth 'proof' workers were not slaves

[Joe 6-pack]

And here all this time I thought the were built by aliens ;-)

ROTFLMAO

Ah, so obviously the Bible is wrong (again).

Well, I guess we can scratch Moses off the list of credible figures of antiquity. If we do that, there goes the Ten Commandments. There goes the Jewish sacrificial laws and practices pointing to the sacrifice of Christ on our behalf.

Mission accomplished, if this is adopted as the truth.

The truth it is NOT, and I will never buy into this lie.

Satan and his minions are hard at work, these days. That’s the one thing I can take away from this.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Yeah, a pharoah with an army and thousands of paid guys with whips amounts to leadership Egyptian style.

AND religion...albeit an antiquidated, false religion, but still, religion.

It boils down to enmity toward the Biblical account, as far as disputing the nature of labor utilized to build the pyramids in ancient Egypt. What, were they supposed to be some sort of proto-GenX slackers, working 20 hours a week and kayaking the Nile the rest of the time?

Bondage and servitude was a fact of life for many and even sometimes the majority up to at least the 19th century, and still is in much of the world. We live in a time and a place with no slavery, which is a rare luxury and in fact an oddity in the grand sweep of history.

Indonesia-based Arthur Carmazzi will soon come out with a book arguing how the leadership skills of the rulers of Egypt were responsible for building the giant structures regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

No wonder this guy is based in Asia. The Chinese et al. slave masters must love his theories. (= big $$$ for good old Artie.)

[Moltke]

To add to my previous comment: This has nothing to do with the pyramids or ancient Egypt. It's a thinly veiled ploy to justify/facilitate Chinese/East Asian business practices of TODAY. JMHO, of course.

Carmazzi, ranked as one of the top ten most influential Global Leadership Gurus by Gurus International.

LOL. See what I mean?

Even more likely, the work was accomplished by various contractors who had specific specialties and were hired to accomplish the tasks at which they were expert.

The simple solution is the likely solution.

Is to day April 1?

Another leadership/management book from a dumbass, yawn.

[count-your-change]

That's exactly what an old boss told me when I said I wasn't a slave but a leader. He said I should lead myself to a stack of lumber and lead the re-stacking of it properly.
