Tomb building usually commenced immediately upon the installation of a new king. For example, there is a wealth of information left behind by the pharaohs in their tombs at The Valley of the Kings, the ongoing expansion by pharaohs of the temples of Karnak and Luxor, as well as other sites that were constructed during this period. In our modern age we can research the life of a relatively recent monarch (compared to Egyptian history). They can be easily moved around by other factors such as In short, archaeological discoveries in Egypt and the dates assigned to Egyptian chronologies have not falsified the biblical dates for creation and the Flood. Keep in mind that to mention or read out aloud a person or persons’ name in this world was to give them life in the next—speaking it caused it to happen because the Egyptians were great believers in magic. Particularly, as the events in Egypt ultimately led to the formation of the nation of Israel and their settling of the Promised Land—an event and land that is hotly contested by Muslims today.One high profile advocate of the ‘no slaves’ idea is the former Chief Minister of Antiquities in Egypt, Zahi Hawass (mentioned earlier), who served under the former president Mubarak before the revolution of 2011. “Shishak”, for example, is the first pharaoh named when he had dealings with the Hebrew nation.The Bible’s statement that Hebrew slave labour was used in Egypt is of vital importance to the nation of Israel and to Christian theology. One commentator also wrote:With regard to co-regencies, Egypt was often broken up into distinct kingdoms—mainly the Upper Kingdom (upper Nile, inland or southern/lower regions) and Lower Kingdom (lower Nile/Nile delta, northern land regions). Have you seen the latest study which shows how they might have moved the large stones to build the pyramids and things? Many have suggested these were farmers and other subsistence workers looking to supplement their income between seasons. Claims you might hear include: if there were a worldwide flood, then the pyramids should have water damage; or, there is no evidence that a large number of Semitic people were slaves in Egypt and that a mass exodus occurred. In the many writings that remain, particularly in the later dynasties contemporaneous with Moses, you will rarely see the name of a foreign king mentioned. It would erase his memory, and thus, his existence post death. The tomb located in the garden is empty.
:) Loved Bill Cooper's 'After the Flood' and this is great stuff too. So, anyone who worked in the Valley of the Kings could not return to ‘the world’ because they knew the locations of these tombs with their incredible wealth.
An excellent couple of webpages on the work of Davidovits at the French Geopolymer Institute with explanatory construction system diagrams and formulations of primitive geopolymers include: [LINKS REMOVED PER FEEDBACK RULES AS NOTED ON THE SUBMISSION PAGE].An update maybe to include this?
With no natural ventilation or ways of extracting the dust and smoke from the air, it would have severely shortened the life expectancy of the workers. However, as mentioned earlier, this is also difficult because of the transliteration and translation of Egyptian names into the languages of those other cultures and also doubts over which titulary was used. Like Horemheb before him, Seti I restored order by reinstating the former polytheistic religious practices and restored the temples to the worship of Amun and multiple deities. It was the same material as had been used in ancient plastering type repairs of the Sphinx nearby.
Part of the punishment that the pharaoh of Moses’ time enacted upon the slaves was that they had to gather the straw component for themselves (Exodus 5:8).
