This was taken a split second before tragedy struck when 3rd row disgruntled slave Ezra upset the delicate balance by flipping the company cameraman the finger.
Many scholars have all but proven that Egyptian pyramids were mainly used as dark rooms. The absence of any windows and the triangle shapes eliminated any light source from ruining their primitive, by today's standards, film stock.
Sadly though, only a handful of Egyptian photographs exist today. The "Valley of the Kings" experimented with color photography and was the inspiration for the modern term, "Silicon Valley."
I've studied Egyptology. The 'why' and 'how' these ancient burial buildings were made is no longer a question. And, it turned out that, each worker was granted an allowance of mead (similar to today's beer) and a meager salary. It was, indeed, an honor bestowed on the worker. Some, however, would trade additional time working, with a colleague in trade for a portion of his mead/money. Thus began the practice of, dare I say it? A Pyramid Scheme.

I get your "point" Tony. Btw the meagre compensation these slave workers received, in addition to the tragedy I mentioned in my post, were the prompt for the establishment of the United Slave Granite Carriers Union, which eventually merged with the Truckers Union centuries later. Their chant of "We will...we will rock you" is still popular to this day in certain circles.
