Apparently discoveries in the past few decades indicate that the people who built Giza pyramids were not actually workersslaves.

Lehner’s excavation of the worker’s village paints a clear picture of the pyramid laborers, highlighting a higher quality of life than previously believed. The workers had access to high quality food, were given proper burials, and lived under an organized labor system, where workers contributed to various societal and construction functions of their own free will. This archaeological evidence directly opposes previous beliefs that the pyramids were the result of intensive slave labor. This misconception began with Greek Historian Herodotus, and was later popularized in pop cultural depictions of the building of the pyramids.[16]

But yeah, I’d have a hard time believing there was no music or singing involved building those.

There’s good evidence that the people that built the pyramids were not slaves, but mostly skilled seasonal workers. There is evidence of the workers having luxurious foods and decent housing in something akin to dormitories. Seems like it’s still unknown if everyone was paid in actual coin, or if some or many were doing it more for religious purposes and were just treated to good food and accommodation while they were there, though some pay rates for some workers have been found in writing. But it does seem like they were mostly rotating crews rather than people living and working there for the years or decades it took to complete them.

If they were slaves, they probably would have been there long term, and not afforded those luxuries.

Wish I had a convenient source for all that, but it’s probably buried in academic journals and papers, but this bbc article includes some of it, and I have found some terrible ad-ridden articles mentioning pay rates and such. I just remember some of that from watching YouTube videos/documentaries tbh

I'm imagining that scene from Futurama where the horn players are getting whipped by the Egyptian guards.

🎶 Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don't wanna die, I'm a god
Why can't I live on? 🎶

Oh, but that's so cringe... No one would get that vibe but you, which ironically defeats what you're going for.
