The Egyptian pyramids were built by paid laborers. No slaves involved, especially Jewish ones.

So i had a discussion with my dad about religion and im sure you know how that went. But it ended with the xian argument of ignorance - "How on earth were they able to create the pyramids?", im sure yall are familiar with that claim which has been answered by historians. So it led me to think, because of the discoveries in mechanics that have led us to have the mechanics that we have now, were our minds better? and have gotten worse? OR are we better now and are simply progressing? or are we the same?
The part of being the same is a bit misleading:
See, when we were in the ancient greek times, they would agree to be intelligent based on the technology they had back then. As well are we in the same position based on what we have but what about the next thousand years?
What are your thoughts?
Different strokes for different folks. They built pyramids; we build space stations. They rode horses and camels. We ride in cars and fly in airplanes.
