We know for a fact that the Great Pyramid of Egypt was built by free labor. We have inscriptions left by the work gangs that worked on the pyramid that read, “Khufu’s gang did great work” and things like that. Egypt was mainly agrarian, with a majority of the population working as farmers. Each year when the Nile overflowed its banks, and when the land was inundated with water, the fields were underwater and farmers couldn’t do anything. This created a large workforce that Egypt could marshal to work on the pyramid, which may have been what happened.

Khufu­—also known by the Greek name of Cheops—built the Great Pyramid at Giza. Until the Eiffel Tower was built in 1889, it was the tallest building on Earth. Its base is so large it covers 13.5 acres; it’s made of 2.5 million blocks of stone, each averaging about 2.5 tons. It’s an incredible monument.
But it is important to emphasize something right from the beginning. It wasn’t a high-tech monument, requiring masses of labor and skills of social organization, but it didn’t require higher mathematics. It was a tomb for the burial of a pharaoh.

Contrary to popular belief, the pyramids were not built by slaves. The Exodus, when the Israelites were in Egypt, was long after the pyramids were built. Hollywood has perpetuated the falsehood that while the pyramids were being built, slaves were whipped as they hauled enormous blocks of stone. There never was a large number of slaves in Egypt that were used for work projects.

It is one of the many Dark Sky destinations in the world, and it’s located right in Southern California, about 3.5-hours away from Los Angeles. And it is an incredible place to visit during the day as well as at night for an amazing night sky. (Although during the Summer, the weather can be a scorcher!) You can go star gazing all over Death Valley, you will never be disappointed. The terrain and landscape is so unique and different, it makes a perfect backdrop to the night sky.
