    I wonder if dinosaurs had slaves, I reckon that T Rex did. Although he came a cropper with that tree in South London.

    Depends what history channel you watch........the old out of date theory was they were built by slaves....... More modern scholars will tell you that it was a passage to the afterlife for Egyptian people if they helped build a monument to thy king queen with beard and thy passage from earth to afterlife........ The book of the dead.

    Graham hancock also questions the time that the building of them takes place which predates the current narrative that they are about 5 thousand years old...... His theory looks at them being much older.

    I’ve got a big pear tree in the garden. How do you get cross varieties growing on it?

    Without being pedantic I probably should have mentioned the writings of scholars and thinkers outside the box like Graham hancock.

    The finger of the gods I think one book is called...... I recently asked my mate to lend it to me again so I can re read it based on my open mind since the last time I read it........ Joe rogan has some good interviews with him but be prepared for a three hour chat that only scratches the surface on said subject.

    Not really we can also give them back stolen artifacts whilst we are at it..... We can only Bury our own ghosts of history I'm afraid.

    Yeah as there’s literally no one suggesting tearing down buildings ffs. Pretending to not understand the difference between a statue that is by definition glorifying the life of a slave trader and buildings appears to rife amongst a certain segment at present. Amazing.

    The Kolyma Highway - known as the Road of Bones, across the Russian Far East. Built by inmates of the Gulags, there is an estimated 250,000 bodies buried beneath the surface of the toad itself.

    The road is now dedicated as a monument to the victims of Stalinist atrocities.

    Anyone want to buy a statue of Stalin btw? There’s thousands of them piled up in junkyards all over the Soviet Union. I’m sure the Russian versions of Ginge and Saffy objected when they were pulled down, but pulled down they were, because Stalin was a murdering bastard, and who wants a statue of a murdering bastard in their town square?
