Check the research into flood damage. Pyramids are something like 10,000 years old. Sphinx was a lion and pointed at Leo constellation. Mathematical precision beyond what is capable now. Egyptians wrote about EVERYTHING and it is recorded and they NEVER said they built the pyramids. If you do your own research instead of believing what other people parrot, then it is pretty obvious the Egyptians did not build the pyramids.
“The question of who labored to build them, and why, has long been part of their fascination. Rooted firmly in the popular imagination is the idea that the pyramids were built by slaves serving a merciless pharaoh. This notion of a vast slave class in Egypt originated in Judeo-Christian tradition and has been popularized by Hollywood productions like Cecil B. De Mille’s The Ten Commandments, in which a captive people labor in the scorching sun beneath the whips of pharaoh’s overseers. But graffiti from inside the Giza monuments themselves have long suggested something very different.”

Even the history channel calls them workers, not slaves. Well damn. Preconceived notion blown.
Blame that misconception on Hollywood, not Jewish or Christian religion. The Bible makes it clear that the Israelites were brick makers in Egypt, not masons or monument builders. The Egyptians DID use slave labor for making bricks. In the scenes of brick making depicted in the frescoes of TT100, the tomb of Rekhmire, there are fully-dressed men holding nekhakha (Egyptian flail) watching the workers make bricks.

Mouses will unleash the seven plagues on the cat: fleas, ticks, shiny objects, dogs, paper bags, worms and dry cat food.

The Chicago Tribune did not run this Argyle Sweater strip for some reason and ran the July 30, 2011 Argyle Sweater strip instead.
