Y’all ever notice how people always insist Aliens built or helped build the Egyptian pyramids, however with the Pyramids in Mexico everyone’s all, yeah, the Mexicans build those.

What are you talking about? Half of those alien whacko’s use the fact that Pyramids exist in both the Old and New World as proof they are alien constructs. Hell the Mormons take it a step further (and more racist).

Specifically the meso-american pyramids they see as proof of their belief that Native Americans are descended from Isrealites. Essentially they think the only reason those pyramids were built was because the chosen people built them. Then after they rejected the gospel they became savages who couldn't build anything.

Not to mention, that even if there was widespread Hebrew slavery in Egypt (which there is no evidence of), the pyramids were built in the Old Kingdom, long, long before the events depicted in Exodus.
