We have? I've been to the Great Pyramids, and the guides said they were not built by slaves as some think but paid labor. Didn't see any of those contracts anywhere nor mention of them.

I remember watching a show where engineers tried to construct scaled skids and ramps to lift these stones and place them. They were able to move some on a very lesser scale and weight. Still it left more unanswered questions than answered. I have herd of the digs going on in the skilled workers encampment. And it goes without saying labor had to be performed by master stone masons but the heavy lifting must have been done by incredible amounts of slave labor. How were they house fed provided drinking water in the desert? |

Also, the pyramid is a very stable and easy to build structure which you can build tall with very little advanced engineering needed. The Coliseum and Roman aqueducts are much more complicated as they rely on arches to carry the load rather than the rather dense blocks that pyramids use.
