My friend told me that the Jews were likely not used as work slaves. They could read and write, and do math. So they likely designed the pyramid, but did not build it.
Is this true?

@539,724 (kook !!mCVqftDha) > So they likely designed the pyramid, but did not build it.
Yeah, probably not even that. The consensus among Egyptologists seems to be that Egyptians built the pyramids. If slave labor was employed at Giza, then that labor would have been Nubian slaves taken in semi-regular raids to the south - and probably not used a whole lot. The burial sites sites at Giza for workers are not the mass graves one might expect if slave labor were utilized.
There is some evidence of slaves being taken from the Levant during the middle kingdom, but that is well after the pyramids at Giza were constructed. Those slaves probably would have been sent to work in farming or mining (if male) or as house servants for the elite (if female). The slaves taken certainly didn't get a chance to band together or think of themselves as "a people".
Jewish labor was -maybe- being employed during the rule of Ramses II on his many building projects, but again this is long after most pyramids were built. I say most pyramids because there are other pyramid sites (Meidum, Saqqara, Dahshur, Abu Rawash, etc.) that were built later or predate the pyramids at Giza.
There is actually pretty much no solid evidence for the Egyptian exile or exodus mentioned in the Old Testament. And Ramses II or Ramses III are the key candidates for the “pharaoh” of Exodus. (again, well over 1000 years after the pyramids at Giza were constructed) If you want to believe in the historicity of the Bible, then that's cool; you can consider that a source, but there isn't really much else in the way of sources. Old Testament scholars, last time I checked, seemed to be of the opinion that the Hebrews grew out of a native Canaanite people. I'd like to think that the Exodus stories grew out of the vast numbers of Habiru or Sea People that were repulsed in their invasion of Egypt and fled into the Levant during the bronze age collapse. (Habiru sounds temptingly close to Hebrew, but I'm told this is rubbish)
tl;dr: Jews most likely weren't building pyramids. Jews probably weren't even a thing when the pyramids at the Giza plateau were built. There is fuck all in the way of evidence that the events in Exodus actually happened. I know we've all been raised on Hollywood movies that like to tell it differently, but those are just Hollywood movies. Please don't blame the Jews for the pyramids.

Also in the bible it mentions Jews were building "supply cities" or "storage cities"1, not pyramids. The "Jews built the pyramids" thing is a popular misconception. Jews probably weren't even in Egypt. The thesis my Hebrew Bible Professor subscribed to was that a small portion of ancient peoples enslaved by the Egyptians fled Egypt and met up with what would become the Israelite peoples; hence why their story is in the Torah.
