How else would one build a pyramid?

Each village was expected to contribute a number of children to work
for the state. Some for life, while others for specific projects. It
was much the same as conscription for the military. The image of
Jewish slaves building pyramids is probably false. There are problems
with the Egyptian chronology, which has been revised numerous times to
attempt to synchronize biblical dates with archeological finds:

"No Jews built the pyramids because Jews didn't exist at
the period when the pyramids were built," Mazar said.

There probably was an Exodus, which started with a popular revolt
caused by ten plagues, making Egypt a rather unhealthy place to live.
Little wonder the Jews and everyone else who could travel, left for
someplace else.
