does it say in the bible that Jews built the pyramids in Egypt??

Question

Because Egypt already proved that egyptians build it not slaves

Answer 1

Before we start to look at who built the pyramids, we need to look at stories in the scriptures, and compare them with stories in the history of Egypt. If there are similar or exactly the same stories, we should use those as a starting point. Then we should see if stories 100 years before are similar. If they are, then we look at stories that are 100 years after the first story. That is how I developed my chronology of Egypt and the Scriptures.
This is not how archeologists originally developed their chronology of Egypt and Israel over 200 years ago. They started out with an assumption that there was something that was called a perfect year. I will not get into all the details, but a perfect year only occurred once every 1460 years. There was suposed to be a perfect year in 139 AD. The previous perfect year was 1321 BC and they believed that Ramses I was Pharoah. By taking the chronology of the Bible, they concluded that the Israelites were slaves during that time and the Exodus occurred when Ramses II was Pharoah. In the last 200 years, thousands of books have used that basis as the rock that supported their histories. I guess the question is what if the perfect year either did not exist or if it did exist, what if 139 AD was the wrong year? The whole of Egyptian history would be turned upside down. There is much to be lost (ie Book royalties). So archeologists do not look for the facts of history, but rather look for ideas that support their preconcieved notions of the history of Egypt. Anybody that "rocks the boat" is severly dealt with. (ie. They cannot get their books published.)

After saying this let's look at the story of an exteremly revered man in Egyptian history. His name was "Imhotep".
Imhotep lived during the time called the "Old Kingdom". He came on the scene out of nowhere. He met with the Pharoah and told the him that there would be a drought for seven years, but that Egypt had seven years to prepare for it. In return the pharoah made Imhotep the prime minister and gave him the task of providing for the people during the famine. Before the famine arrived, huge graneries were constructed and the surplus grain was stored in them. These graneries can still be seen today. When the famine came, Imhotep doled out food to the people. The gates that Imhotep constructed to organize the people are still there. In addition, Imhotep had the people work on a major work project. That project was the first Pyramid. We know it as the Great Step Pyramid. As the famine was coming to an end, the pharoah asked Imhotep what reward he wanted for the great work he had done. He requested 12 huge parcels of land in the richest part of Egypt. The Egyptian people were so greatful to Imhotep they they made him into a god. It is extremely unusual that a burial site for Imhotep has never been found.

If you look at the story of the Egyptian Imhotep, and the story of the Israelite Joseph, we see that they are the same story. Even their names are alike in the different languages. However according to archeologists, Imhotep lived 600 years before Joseph. (Of course nobody challenges that date because they would be black listed.)

Now to answer your question, the Israelites were not the slaves that built the pyramids. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that. Rather they may have been the ones that designed and oversaw the construction of the pyramids.

Answer 2

The Jews (Israelites) were in Egypt for a long, looooong time. So what could they have been doing all this while? The pyramids are the most extensive Egyptian works...

It doesn't mean that only Jews were slaves; but the Bible came from that origin, so that's the one-sidedness of it.

How can Egypt possibly prove this? How can the Bible? Why does it even matter?

Answer 3

Yeah, like they're going to OWN UP to the fact that their greatest monuments and tourist attractions were built by Jewish slaves! LOL That's a good one!

And I like the answer from that guy that says the Jews have no historical record of the exodus of the Jews. Yeah! They're going to own up to that too! All of their slaves just walked away with nothing more than the power of God. No war, just God. I can't IMAGINE why they don't have a very detailed document writing up that story.

By the way, aren't we talking about the same Egyptians who would scratch off the face of the engravings in the pyramids of people that fell "out of grace" so that the person could not be documented in history? Oh, yeah. The very same ones.

It's just BAFFLING to me why they don't have info about the Jewish slaves!

Answer 4

Who Built the Pyramids?

Contrary to some popular depictions, the pyramid builders were not slaves or foreigners. Excavated skeletons show that they were Egyptians who lived in villages developed and overseen by the pharaoh's supervisors.

The builders' villages boasted bakers, butchers, brewers, granaries, houses, cemeteries, and probably even some sorts of health-care facilities—there is evidence of laborers surviving crushed or amputated limbs. Bakeries excavated near the Great Pyramids could have produced thousands of loaves of bread every week.

Some of the builders were permanent employees of the pharaoh. Others were conscripted for a limited time from local villages. Some may have been women: Although no depictions of women builders have been found, some female skeletons show wear that suggests they labored with heavy stone for long periods of time.

Graffiti indicates that at least some of these workers took pride in their work, calling their teams "Friends of Khufu," "Drunkards of Menkaure," and so on—names indicating allegiances to pharaohs.

An estimated 20,000 to 30,000 workers built the Pyramids at Giza over 80 years. Much of the work probably happened while the River Nile was flooded.

Huge limestone blocks could be floated from quarries right to the base of the Pyramids. The stones would likely then be polished by hand and pushed up ramps to their intended positions.

It took more than manual labor, though. Architects achieved an accurate pyramid shape by running ropes from the outer corners up to the planned summit, to make sure the stones were positioned correctly. And priests-astronomers helped choose the pyramids' sites and orientations, so that they would be on the appropriate axis in relation to sacred constellations.

From stone pusher to priest, every worker would likely have recognized his or her role in continuing the life-and-death cycle of the pharaohs, and thereby in perpetuating the glory of Egypt.

Answer 5

Sinyckel asks: "Not to mention that Egyptians have no records of a massive Exodus of Jews from Egypt. I wonder why they would have left that out."

The Pyramid building was many years ago. There are not a lot of records still existing.

A massive Exodus of Jews from Egypt.

Not exactly something the Court Historian would have written for posterity.

And there wasn't the tabloids surviving from that time.

Answer 6

The Jews are only associated with pyramids because when people think Egypt, they think pyramids. The pyramids were built during the Old Kingdom, the Jews didn't even exist back then.
Exodus 1 says they built cities, not pyramids.

Answer 7

If there were no records, hmm. Let's see. Could be they were all too busy recovering from the stinking frogs in their beds, ovens, and kneadingtroughs which later died, going 7 days without water which was bloody red and stinking, lice on them and their animals, swarms of flies up their noses and on the ground, their horses, asses, camels, oxen, and sheep had a very grievous murrain, all their cattle dying, boils that had been on them and their beasts, rain and hail destroying man, beast and every herb and every tree in the field, the flax and barley being smitten by hail, locusts came that devoured everything the hail didn't, complete darkness for three days, their clothes, jewels of silver and gold were permenantly borrowed by the Hebrews, and all their eldest children had just died? Egypt was destroyed and once they took care of their dead, they would have had to go elsewhere for food. Neither they nor others in the neighborhood ever forgot it either. Heaven and the Word and the spirit bear witness that it happened. It does say the Hebrews made the "bricks".

Answer 8

No, it doesn't say the Jews built the pyramids. Why not read the Bible for yourself, rather than taking other peoples word for it?
It does say, as archaeologists are finding, that the Hebrews began as favored guests in Egypt, because of Joseph's wisdom and service to Pharaoh.
Eventually, though, due to a new dynasty of kings who didn't know or care about Joseph's service, they came to be seen as a dangerous threat. That's when the Egyptians began to try to enslave them.

Answer 9

Impossible:
First because Abraham Isaak and Jacob the ancestors of israelites ... Lived long after the Pyramids era. in the old Egyptian dynasties.
Second .... the bible tells that hebrews lived in Egypt in the modern dynasties and one of the bad cruel pharaohs of the Ramsis ... enslaved them to build the city of Ra mesis.... there were no pyramids in this era..

Answer 10

Exodus means to leave. This is when Moses lead them from the Kind of Egypt. They were slaves their. They did build cities for them. Exodus 1:11 Later Mike
