The Bible doesn’t actually say anything about slaves being used to build the pyramids or even mention the pyramids (as far I know, there may be an obscure mention in the minor prophets I don’t know about). The idea of Israelite slaves building the pyramids is entirely cultural, and relatively recent. For example, in the middle ages, people believed that the pyramids were actually older than the story of Moses and Egyptian captivity, and attributed them to the biblical character Joseph, who appears in the Book of Genesis. I suspect the idea of Israelite slaves building the pyramids comes from early movies about the Exodus such as the blockbuster hit The Ten Commandments.
So you’re saying the bible claims Egypt enslaved the abrahamic worshippers until after Moses, but because moses came after the pyramids that means the bible doesn’t say the thing that it says.
Does religion even being mentioned give you people brain damage or something? I am legitimately curious how you could have misread my comment so hard unless you were just foaming at the mouth about religion even being mentioned that you disregarded even the most basic thought about it. I am just saying that the Bible doesn’t actually claim that enslaved Jews built the pyramids and doesn’t even mention the pyramids at all, and I included the other stuff more to demonstrate that this is actually a pretty recent belief based mostly on Hollywood movies. Exodus clearly depicts Israelites being enslaved in Egypt, but I wasn’t trying to dispute that.
Archaeologists aren’t so sure.

Who do you really trust on this topic: Lifelong scholars pursuing the truth with hard evidence, or the abrahamic texts?

Got it.

Not brain damage, just forces us to relive trauma because Religion is a foul invention causing immeasurable harm throughout all of human history.
That’s fine but you responded to a comment about facts with just completely unnecessary hostility.
