Pyramids and 1799 Halfpenny

Recommended Posts

Both of these have to be destroyed .. the pyramids were built by slaves and the 1799 Halfpenny shows a woman’s breasts ( i tried to upload pictures but files too large ) .. The Thought Police are coming for you ...

Not totally acurate while egyptians who built pyramids were not paid egyptians never used money so it would have been impossable for them to stash their wealth away in pensions ISAS or just good old fashioned cash , they were in fact queueing to do these jobs as they recieved great housing and extra food and drink .

The romans actually introduced cash to egypt and that is when the real rot/fraud and coruption started , a change in the weather in egypt never helped as well.

As for the 1799 halpenny "Tits out for the lads"

Who Built The Pyramids?

Though some popular versions of history held that the pyramids were built by slaves or foreigners forced into labor, skeletons excavated from the area show that the workers were probably native Egyptian agricultural laborers who worked on the pyramids during the time of year when the Nile River flooded much of the land nearby. Approximately 2.3 million blocks of stone (averaging about 2.5 tons each) had to be cut, transported and assembled to build Khufu’s Great Pyramid. The ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote that it took 20 years to build and required the labor of 100,000 men, but later archaeological evidence suggests that the workforce might actually have been around 20,000.

There was a documentary showing the tech involved in building the  pyramids - apparently watering the sand ahead of the rollers made them much easier to move.
