The pyramids of Egypt are without a doubt

the most visited, most widely known, highest profile, often celebrated, and at the same time most blindly ignored monuments to human slavery ever known.

Why is nobody anywhere advocating tearing down this monument that celebrates slave labor. It can't be that it simply is located in a foreign country ? could it ? is it because they were Christian ? Is it because they weren't really slaves because they weren't black ?

It'll be interesting to hear the reasons that this monument to slave labor and human oppression is considered a "wonder of the world", and an amazing tribute to what people can accomplish.

I assume " because it wasn't done on American soil" will be the default reason for not giving a crap. But I'm still interested in why there has never, been any discussion or reference to the hundreds of thousands of slaves from all over the world that were worked and tortured to death to build the Pharaoh's stone block pile ?

the second most common answer will likely be a joke, that disregards the slaves murdered for this construction project, and instead makes light of their slavery for the sake an alien visitor one liner.

If the answer is "because it's their problem to deal with", then doesn't that remove all credibility for American protests regarding foreign slave labor ?
