Pyramids Are Not Linked To Scaffolding Comments

2) slavery and death.. Death, not of the one who sleeps under weight of the pyramids, but, of thousands of slaves who died in building them…

Pyramids are not about scaffolding. Not about use of domesticated large animals like elephants. It is about human effort and human intelligence and above all, Slavery and Death…

A very comprehensive, imaginative poem about the pyramids, and a fine illustration. The Great Pyramids are so different from the Tower of Babel of the Old Testament. I wrote a poem myself about the pyramids, but later deleted it because I had not actually seen them.

I too think about the Great Pyramids. They are an enduring monument to the Egyptian pharaohs, but much more than that. As you say, there was no scaffolding then, no iron. I would love to see the pyramids.

A good start with a nice poem, Cui Gya. You may like to read my poem, Love And Iust. Thank you.
