Historian A: Dr. Emily Carter – Economic Perspective

"Dr. Carter argues that the construction of the pyramids was primarily driven by economic factors. She suggests that the immense resources allocated to building these monuments were a way for the state to control and redistribute wealth, provide employment, and demonstrate economic strength. The labor force was composed of skilled workers and craftsmen who contributed to Egypt's economy, and the pyramids served as a display of economic power that stabilized the society."

Historian B: Professor James Reed – Social Perspective

"Professor Reed contends that the pyramids were primarily a social and religious statement. He emphasizes their role as tombs for the pharaohs, reflecting religious beliefs about the afterlife. The massive scale and elaborate design were meant to reinforce the divine status of the pharaohs and unite society through shared religious purpose. He believes the social cohesion and religious symbolism were the main motivations behind the pyramids' construction."
