I remember reading, though, that the pyramids actually weren't built through use of slaves. They were kind of an early government project meant to put people to work. Wikipedia has this to say:

"The tombs' proximity to the pyramids and the manner of burial supports the theory that they were paid laborers who took great pride in their work and were not slaves, as was previously thought. The commonly held belief of slaves building the pyramids was likely to have been popularized by Hollywood films based on the original archaeological and anthropological opinion that they could not have been built without forced labor. Evidence from the tombs indicates that a workforce of 10,000 laborers working in three-month shifts took around 30 years to build a pyramid."

So, I don't know…I think a film with heroic Egyptian leads would be possible.

The way they told the story in my Hebrew school, they weren't building pyramids, they were just building buildings.

But they were doing it on quicksand and every day they'd come and find most of their work lost. I guess the idea was that the Hebrews had to be put to endless work to keep them too low to rise up.

I'm not saying it's much more than whacky apocryphal shit, but it is kind of an explanation.
