Yes lol the people who built the pyramids were generally well paid.
The crazy thing is we still do things more or less the same way sometimes. I've lost count of the times I've helped move heavy electrical panels in through a door by rolling them along copper rods.
Well enough to save up for their own pyramid?
No, but a well paid engineer is a bit different to the whipped slaves often depicted.
Well paid enough to afford their own pyramid?
And then to get it into its final position, we use these fancy things called levers to slowly ease the panels off the rollers and precisely jimmy them till they sit within the square we marked out using chalk or sometimes a rope we dipped in ink.
Oh how far we've come since those primitive days.
So what you're saying is that with enough heavy electrical panels and tradies, that I too can own my own pyramid?
My favourite is the chalk line.
THWACK! and we have a straight line.
Sounds very satisfying. How does it work is it just a normal string you dip in chalk, does it come pre-chalked, is it reusable or do you just unroll the next bit for the next line? I have many questions..
The string is inside a case on a reel, with chalk powder inside it. As you run it out, chalk coats the string. You then pull it tight between two points, pull it back, and release it.
It leaves a dead straight line of chalk behind, you then roll it back up ready to be reused. You can also buy replacement chalk.

Oh that's way more practical than anything I was coming up with! Nice.
