Kanban probably.
- FIFO & JIT production, definitely.
  Gotta maintain agility!
  
  "What's in the next sprint?"
  "Stack more fucking rocks."
  
  JIT is a plague on humanity.
Off season farm workers, paid in beer.
The pyramids are proof that with enough beer you can do anything.
Slavery?
- The current understanding is actually that the builders would have been paid.
  
  In just enough beer to survive their next shift
  
  Egyptian labor unions lol
  
  Well then probably paid from the profits of slavery. That much labor could not have been cheap.
  Also I imagine they had divisions of labor. The guys who knew how to calculate the angle of the triangle or artisans who could shape the stone were probably not the same guys pushing rocks.
- Not so much, ackchually.
It was all a pyramid scheme, obviously.
Slavery
- Happy cake day!
  
  Thanks!
Those are the reasons we'll never build anything like that again.
they used slaves :(
- While slaves were almost certainly involved, a lot of the labor was likely Corvee Labor. Less like chattel slavery and more like taxes in the form of labor.
  
  Interesting
  
  Everyone goes to drop off a brick once a week?
- Contrary to popular belief, it wasn’t slaves who built the pyramids. We know this because archaeologists have located the remains of a purpose-built village for the thousands of workers who built the famous Giza pyramids, nearly 4,500 years ago.

  While I think the evidence they cite is rather weak it’s well agreed upon that the workers were paid and enjoyed elevated status in society
- but we can't even have that anymore
  
  You sure can! Just contact CoreCivic, GEO Group, or MTC for all your legal slavery needs!
With 30years delay
- So not much difference to corporate IT projects
Aliens
Rockstar [property] developers.
- Now, if the game developer Rockstar made them, they'd look like a dick and two balls instead of just 3 pyramid shaped pyramids.
It took about 30 years to finish because of that.
No remote work obv
Slaves
They used a nine day work week, and a shitload of middle class tradesmen.
Or forecast projections. Uhhhhh what does that even mean!
They didn't have Jira, that's how.
Evolution over revolution: the best to ever come into existence was the human. And nobody ever used kanban for it
