Th Egyptians who built the pyramids were proud to be part of the project. They gave their work gangs charismatic nicknames (like "Drunkards of Menkaure") and wrote secret graffiti on the blocks they put in place. They brought their families with them during building season.
And this isn't theoretical. It's factual. People died on-site during construction, and there are graveyards for the workers and their families within sight of the Great Pyramids. Tomb robbers ignored them, and so a lot have been found intact.
And now's as good a time as any to mention that the Egyptians, who recorded everything, including their plagues, defeats in battle, and various national and international humiliations (with spin, of course), have no records of Hebrew slave armies.
Or, y'know, everyone's firstborn dying. Or rivers turning to blood. Or entire seas parting.
You'd think the civilization who wrote down everything from tampon instructions to proto-Garfield comics would have mentioned all that.

AND YET.
