Is that your house?

Nope.  If I had the money to build a house from the ground up, it would be waaaaay bigger then that.  The two car garage takes up almost half of the ground floor...  That place is tiny...

Not really that expendable. I dunno why everyone thinks slaves built the pyramids. People, put down the bible, it's not an all inclusive history!

I just posted the pic, I didn't write it. Just so you know, I'm agnostic, so there's no bible to put down.

Flip side there are many other historical accounts that mention slavery being used. Maybe not in building the Pyramids (seems how they are made of stone and not brick which the Israelites were said to have been forced to make) but it was a viable industry for a long time in human history.

more a commentary on how people have allowed it to represent a lot of history that it doesn't speak on and be the end source for what it does.

Of course this is the forum game that gets semi-serious.

Now tesb can get very serious.

Too serious. Must be the German in him.

There's a lot of anger brewing in there.

brewing is a german thing

Actually Egyptian. You could actually call/report to work that you could not make it in because you were drinking beer. It was part of their religion.

it certainly not a egyptian thing today (too many muslims) and sadly you can not drink ancient beer any more

-Exiled Possum 

No no no, you guys have it all wrong.  Egypt is cats, you're thinking of Ireland. 

-Twi

Ireland was colonized by Celtics which have their origin in Germany.

The first Celtic migrations took place long before the Germanic migrations. At one point, Celts practically had Europe to themselves. This meant that they had all the good corners to hang in, but it also meant they were ill equipped to deal with the aggressive groups following behind. But yes, all of France, most of Germany and Eastern Europe, Spain, and the British Isles were at one point all Celtic. Later some bled into the Middle East where they became infamous as mercenaries.

They like beer too.

Who doesn't?

Muslims

they like it too, if the religious guys aren't watching^^ 

just look at all the saudi tourist in barhrain

-Exiled Possum 

muslims are like anyone else. There are those that claim the religion and don't adhere well and then there are those that are genuinely religious. I'm aiming more for the latter.

How much later?
