Because of the Abrahamic religions and refusal to think independently majority of Nigerians believe that Ancient Egyptians was evil

with this your preposition, it would be logical to agree that most modern structures are bound to be obsolete is thousands years to come, hence, we should view such endeavours as wasted resources and to some extend effort..
Maybe in 3,500 years to come, some people then will say Burj Khalifa, WTC in U.S., Palm Tree Island In UAE are wasted resources.

Most likely Carried there on the backs of the Isrealites

May be it was dumped after Egypt ran out of Slave Labour because of Moses and the Exodus after God Almighty delivered his Children from Slavery and bondage
Please drop this myth and pick up a history book if you need information about ancient Egypt.

The tombs of the builders have already been found in the valley of the kings- near where kings were buried. Researchers then discovered that the builders couldn't have been slaves since they were highly regarded. Some inscriptions on their tombs read something like "the great architect". Further forensic examination of their skeleton shows they were well fed. All running contrary to demeaned slaves as bible mythology would have you believe.

1000 people cannot lift up this obelisk, wow what a world several years ago
I'm telling you. Those generations really suffered....raw human labour. Without them, there wouldn't have been the future, which us now though. The whole world built on the Egyptian architecture for generations, which we're all applying today. They were so powerful in magic, science and idolatry that, they never believed in God, the creator in their era. They even believed when one dies, the person continues to live in the afterlife. They Bury them with all manners of gifts, including slaves who would be helping them in afterlife, especially if that person is a notable person like their Kings.

They had millions of slaves at their disposal to do their bidding. Let's not forget they were also the world power of their time and they had no Geneva convention to contend with cheesy

I reckon this is about the same period the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians
Jokerman:
The Israelis worked a lot in Egypt, and also learned a lot
fineboynl:
The Israel where they workers and builder's.

All this act where the 400 years if slavery in Egypt. Imagine 400 years. Alot must have been done. That why it was hard for Egyptian to allow them leave. Like who will build and do the works for them.

Israel only started existing in 1948... In that era there was no place called Israel.
It wasn't built by slaves.

They believe in God... Just not the Eur:opean gods jes:us and mo:h that you worship..

They didn't have slaves.

The way you spend time to watch TV series, football and other TV shows in 2022 is the same way they also spend time to practice and master their crafts and skillsets everyday in their era..

If kids are registered in football and other sports academies at age 9 and below in 2022.. that means in their era kids were also learning blacksmith, cutting metals , block and stone building,
sculpting and other skills at a very young age and by the time they become adults there will be at least 1000 adults with this skills and craftsmanship..

Unlike the theory you and millions of people are focused on in 2022 they in their era started doing practicals from a young age.

They were purely idol worshippers. They had slaves Joseph was sold by his brothers as slave to Egypt. Later Christianity entered egypt. Islamic Religion later entered Egypt. Sheik Ottoman Turks overpowered them in a jihad war and forced them into Islam, destroyed their shrines and golden images

Was Jesus born in Europe? I can see where you belong. Go and read how Christianity entered Europe, if at all your biased mind would let you

The bi:ble and other religious books are not history books and should never be used as a reference when citing history because they are story books. Joseph never existed.. ottoman is not as old as ancient egyptians..

J:esus and m:oh are europ:ean creations... The same way Indians worship Buddha.

They were the Sons of Isreal (Jacob) and called the Isrealites



Exodus 14
New International Version


14 Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 “Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal Zephon. 3 Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.’ 4 And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them. But I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” So the Israelites did this.

They simply were the best of their times.

Coming generation would wonder while it took spaceX forever to up the games of interplanetary travels and other things we consider a wonder today.
They would wonder what we were thinking using combustion engines instead of electromagnet force.

Exodus 1 NIV. 6-14

6 Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died, 7 but the Israelites were exceedingly fruitful; they multiplied greatly, increased in numbers and became so numerous that the land was filled with them.

8 Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt. 9 “Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become far too numerous for us. 10 Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country.”

11 So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh. 12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites 13 and worked them ruthlessly. 14 They made their lives bitter with harsh labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their harsh labor the Egyptians worked them ruthlessly.

It's amazing how the ancient Egyptians were able to do that much without the use of power tools and equipment.

How do you fashion that monstrosity out of a rock - and how do you move them?

The one in Washington - how was it moved there?
It wasn't moved.. it was built on site.

Isra:el didn't exist in that era.. is:rael was created in 1948.
