Take a breath, Yohanan/John. I take it by the spelling of your name, you
were either not born Jewish or speaking Hebrew. It turns out it WAS meant as
a joke. Jews did not build the pyramids, Egyptians did and were glad for the
work when the Nile was flooded and they were out of work for a while. They
were not forced labor and were paid in produce, like onions. Building the
pyramids is not, and never has been, in the cultural history of the Jews.

A joke? Are you really going to refer to the cultural history of the people
of Israel, a people who still exist today, a joke? Based on what? Scientists
studying information they half to decipher and form opinions on, which could
be wrong or right, with no way to prove with certainty, since it is theories
about people long since wiped out of existence, unlike Israel.

P.S. Us Israeli-Texans did build the Parthenon!

Are there really people in the world who think that Jews built the
pyramids? They wouldn't know there was no such thing as a Jew, or an
Israelite, in the 3rd millennium BCE? That's kind of like saying Texans
built the Parthenon. It was meant as just a joke?
