Also we literally can trace, at least with some pyramids, people who built them. They weren’t slaves, they were masons and craftspeople and levied labor - and from graffiti we’ve found, it was considered a pretty great honor to work on one.

I bought some on clearance out of morbid curiosity as well. Had two bites between my roommate and I and we threw the rest of the pot out.
