yeah, the theory, or proof, is the well tended bodies they found buried in the vicinity of the pyramids, indicating the builders were paid laborers rather than slaves. if I am not mistaken.
The verse says they were "storage cities", not "tomb monuments."
According to Sotah 11a, the buildings we built were on a swamp (Pitom = pi tehom) and a location where for some reason buildings would collapse (Ramses taken as being from mitroses). IOW, a point of the story was that all the work was futile -- not monuments that would still be gawked at millennia later.
I got a big laugh out of this. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCute, but I think it's pretty well established that the Jews did not build the pyramids.
