    Wasn’t there some archeological evidence that many of the workers and their families were actually compensated?

      Im not sure if its the great pyramid but I know some of the Egyptian great works were used as a jobs program during the off season of harvest.

      Im sure the majority was slavery, but there was a tiny bit of good in those.
