And to think how we cheered the overthrow of Mubarak! Ah what a tangled web we weave, in Egypt, Libya, numerous African nations, Iraq, Afghanistan, you know, those great successes, just about like ‘Nam, but at least it’s become a trading partner and source for our cheap clothing!!!
“No slaves were used to build the pyramids. That’s just Judeo-Christian mythology.”Actually it was Herodotus who claimed the pyramids were built by slaves. Christians just accepted his myth, along with a lot of other Greek beliefs.We now know the pyramid crews were free men, who drank a a lot of beer to make it through the week. Some things never change!
I’ve never heard of this Judeo-Christian myth that Hebrew slaves built the pyramids. The time of their captivity dates to about 1600-1200 BC, which is after many of the pyramids were constructed. Your assertion does not disprove Hebrew captivity in Egypt only your ignorance..

“bring it back to me, stained with his blood”.
Violence, I would say it is in their blood.

Ah, I see you are a historian and a scholar. When I was a history grad student I never used a web link to the Discovery Channel site as a reference.

Herotodus got a lot right, but he also passed on a lot of crap, especially about warfare. “The winners write the history.”
