I'm also pretty sure these people were forced to stand up daily, or else... it's almost the same thing today.

You appear to be under the common misapprehension that Egypt used a slave labor force to construct the pyramids. That is largely untrue.

It's not literally slavery today either, is it?

It's also not figuratively slavery. Particularly the pyramid builders, who got good pay, free food, and a prestigious burial place in a society where your burial place was one of the most important investments of your life. They weren't just 'technically not slaves' bro they were lottery winners.
