The Pyramids of the Old Kingdom

The truth about who built the pyramids of the Old Kingdom is actually pretty complex and probably lies somewhere in between those two extremes. Probably we should envisage some combination of free and unfree workforce, probably attuned to particular tasks. So it's complex. But again, I would emphasize that even the unfree parts of that workforce were probably eventually settled on agricultural lands. Don't forget. Charlton Heston said that he's coming back next week in our Roman episode. No, don't forget.
