                Appeal of the Pyramids
                You are well aware of the Giza Pyramid, yes? I imagine so. It's such a large, ancient structure... Anyone can recognize its appeal. I have been interested in that massive structure for a while. I've been gathering documents and studying them, but...

                People engaged in construction
                I have one concern over the construction of the massive pyramid. For a structure that big, a massive number of commoners must have been engaged in the construction for a long time. There are documents that tell of drudgery, and the sound of the cracking whip under the blazing sun.

                Misrule or Not?
                In the end, maybe the pyramids are only a symbol of misrule. But I don't believe that written documents cover the totality of truth.
                I want you to search for the truth of the matter with your own eyes and ears. I imagine you could make a more detailed investigation of Alexandria.

                With Expectation
                I see, so you are investigating the construction of the pyramid.
                I have heard that you have gone down into the pyramid yourself. If that's the case, then I'm more than happy to talk with you. Like the Scholar in Istanbul, I have great expectations for your activities...

                Giant Task through Royal Power
                Constructing the pyramid was surely a great undertaking, requiring massive costs and labour. It's recorded that the constant labourious work of tens of thousands was required to pile up all that stone. Since you've actually seen the Giza Pyramid, I'm sure you'd understand just how much authority and power the Pharoah had.

                For Happiness after Death
                However, I do not believe that the people were forced to work. Rebirth after death was a special privilege only provided to the Pharoah. Commoners could not even hope to make their tombs in the pyramid, so it's possible they may have joined in the construction in hopes to benefit from that Pharoah's powers.

                Life Security in the Off-season
                Moreover, work on the pyramid seems to have been concentrated in the Nile River's flooding season. The flooding season is the farming off-season for the commoners. If they engaged in the pyramid construction during that time, they'd be provided with foodstuffs from the nation. So it's possible that the pyramid construction was a means to provide the commoners with security for their livelihood.

                Scholarly Consideration and Advice
                This is nothing more than my personal observation, but I hope you find it useful. Also, I must inform you that a path deeper into the Giza pyramids was discovered during the investigation. I hope you can use your eyes and ears to further the study of these ancient mysteries.

                Potential for Further Investigation
                You gained info on the construction of the pyramids. There appears to be many mysteries still remaining in the Giza pyramids.
                According to the scholar, there is a deeper interior to the Giza pyramids. Make your report and include a suggestion for the next study.
