a few point of detail in Egypt the slaves were valuable house servants the peasants who build the pyramids were paying their taxes by working for a set time for free during the slack in the farming season , that's called corvee duty

and as I've said above the builders of the pyramids were NOT slaves they were free peasants , in medieval Europe the Corvee system was used for building Castles and roads , the Peasants didn't like it much but it was better than paying taxes in cash or kind .
whatever happen will not happen as a result of deliberate concious choices , it will be random and natural , it probably is not going to be pretty either .

Indeed, but time is relative. Assuming you accept geologic and evolutionary timelines, it took some 60,000 years before we walked down the path of agriculture, and made a pretty succesful go of that time period in the tribal model. So it would appear from that such a model has better length to it than agricultural slavery to it, now doesn't it?
It matters not exactly how long a particular type of civilization lasts here, this one burned the candle brightly for a short time. what matters is the perpetuation of the human soul, and for the environment that soul exists in on earth not to be itself souless. Slavery robs people of their soul, as does greed and capitalism and communism. These are not sustainable philosphies. Sustainable is the commmunity whic grasps that all depend on each other, that no man can live at the expense of another. When you choose that path, you choose the path to Hell.

Dr. Calleman: 'The actual pattern of Creation described by the Mayan calendar looks like a pyramid which consists of 9 levels or cycles', which each are subdivided in 13 cycles of the same length, writes Calleman. 'The Sumerian, and Mesopotamians wrote this same pattern in clay tablets as their understanding of Creation. The Ancient Vedic texts, that are the basis of Buddhism, Hinduism, Sufism and Taoism have the same understanding of 9 levels with 13 sections each', writes Calleman elsewhere. According to him, each following level on the way to the top takes twenty times shorter. Even though the duration of each cycle becomes shorter, the number of important events stays the same, 'the same amount of change or evolution'. Developments on the lowest level take (20 x) billions of years and the cycles just before 2012 take only (20 x) twenty days. The numbers twenty and thirteen are prominent in the Maya-calculations.
