I have my doubts that Austin stayed on mission during the whole Sasquatch/Shalon saga.  Allowing his memory to be erased, as a government asset, is surely an unauthorised destruction of government records.

I may have taking that out of context and I'm not black and I have been at no protests. I just think it's a sensitive time to bring up any kind of slavery

To repeat: the people working on the construction of the Great Pyramid and other projects might have been conscripts, "their work and their reward measured and scrutinized [Kemp 1989: 128]", but they were not slaves.

The existence of deplorable and reprehensible events of the present day and recent past is absolutely no good reason for refraining from the discussion of events in the remote past.  The past - all the past, good aspects and bad - is a part of our collective human identity; not to acknowledge it is to deny that identity.

I have a ancestor who was a slave and I find nothing wrong with it.

The notion they did not use slaves to build the pyramids came largely from and popularized by Lehner's premature assessment of the provenance of the so called "pyramid workers town" (which dates to the reign of Menkure). The conditions there were of a standard clearly above what was expected to be afforded to slaves ergo "slaves were not used to build the pyramids". Despite the clear need for a more cautious interpretation with it more likely at the very least this town did not serve the typical pyramid (slave) laborer, this was repeated over and over as "fact".

Expectedly as it turns out more discovery revealed the town was  not for the pyramid workers after all, but rather to service the associated barracks and port. 

Quote

Lehner said his team also found at Giza charcoal remains of cedar, juniper, pine and oak, all trees that grew in a part of the eastern Mediterranean called the Levant, along with more than 50 examples of combed ware jars, a style of pottery from that region....

Where there is a port there are sailors. At the city the archaeologists found evidence that a series of long buildings called "galleries" held troops who could have participated in voyages to the Levant and possibly guarded VIPs while at Giza....

Archaeologists once assumed galleries like these held pyramid workers, something that recent discoveries call into question; in recent excavations of the galleries Lehner's team found charcoal remains from wood, particularly cedar, that was originally from the Levant. 

"What was all this cedar from the Levant doing in a common workers barracks?" Lehner asked. In fact, these troops are represented in the tombs of highly placed officials and in pyramid temples. "You have representations of these gangs, these troops, repeated over and over again," he said, adding that the word for them can be translated as "escort" or "the following." Each individual gallery could hold about 40 people comfortably, which is a unit these troops could be organized into, Lehner said.

"I wonder if we are basically seeing barracks not of the workers, but of elite crews of ships," Lehner said.

The notion they did no use slaves is unfortunately bogus so one would think at some point it would stop being repeated. A further tip off this might was not the case, for example, the reports of Sneferu among others going about capturing 7,000 Nubians and 11,000 Lybians-what do you think the point of making prisoners of nearly 20,000 people was? Couldn't have been to work on all those pyramids he built. And then you have the indentured slaves, indigenous criminals and whatnot that would also be used as labor.

This is Lehner's illogical speculation as well.  

Ports by definition have roads leading in and out.  No such roads exist and "wet sand" is nonsensical.

Wet sand works and your stating it doesn't is nonsensical and a good example of your  making something up because you hate Egyptology and everything they say. Okay show us the FACTS that wet sand does not aid heavy weights being dragged over it.

Roads on limestone? Okay. Could you point to the archaeological evidence of other Egyptian ports having 'roads' leading in and out?
