There's a site in the Delta where the human remains include men, women, and children, the adults being all different ages, and they were just slaughtered and piled into the building, the result being that the perishable parts of the structure are gone, and the death assemblage (riot of remains) is piled in the box made from the lowest part of the wall (brick or stone) or foundation. There's no record of it of course, so who they were and why it took place remains mysterious.
Historians and archeologists fawn over the giant monument building civilizations, and always attributing “greatness” to them with the monuments as evidence of it. In most cases the “greatness” was due to slavery of one sort or another and nothing to fawn over.
“The claim is ridiculous of course.”
Has there always been this much lying in the world?
Maybe it’s just the scale of communications that magnifies it, but I tend not to think so.
Totally disagree with that Israeli historian who discounts the basic accuracy of the Biblical Exodus. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Further, New Kingdom Egypt with its imperial adventures was not the same as Old Kingdom Egypt.
Old Kingdom Egypt used construction work as a public employment function and many of the workers were skilled craftsmen. Empire created a whole new perspective regarding construction laborers.
