Fun fact non-Americans (and some Americans) might not know: it's a different color partway through because they had to stop construction for over 20 years due to budgetary problems and other factors (like, eventually, the Civil War). So it began in 1848 and was completed in 1884.
Speaking of, wasn't it built by slaves? I imagine that they switch to carceral slavery after chattel slavery was outlawed rather than going with something as woke as voluntary labor 😛
Actually, while we'll likely never know for certain, it's quite debatable for the first phase, and we're reasonably certain it wasn't used for the second phase.
There's no "yes" or "no" to this question; even the historians collectively don't know. (Although if "built by slaves" is implying exclusively or near-exclusively, that's definitively wrong.)
Amazing, historians will be like, I don’t know, for something that took place less than 200 years ago but then act like they know shit about the pyramids being built.
It's almost like things are not all recorded equally. And historians also don't actually know full how the pyramids were built either, hell we don't truly know whether the pyramids were built with slaves either.
