      There are different periods to consider, you would have to traverse both space and time. Starting with the Wadi Tumelat (Al-Ṭumaylāt), a dry river valley east of the Nile delta, in 1850 BCE, the Canal of the Pharaohs. Extended by the Ptolemies via the Bitter Lakes as far as the Red Sea. Then onward to 'Lake Timsah', where a northward arm reached a former branch of the Nile, extended by the Romans (the terminology used was, Trajan’s Canal), neglected by the Byzantines. It was reopened by the first families of Arabs, deliberately filled in by the 'Abbsid caliphs', for their military reasons in 775 CE, to facilitate trade from the delta lands to the Red Sea. Venetians in the 15th century and French in the 17th and 18th centuries, toyed with the possibility of making a canal, that would venture through the 'Isthmus', a complex region, for more than its geographic boundaries.
      With a canal, ever reaching this region, it would make it possible for ships of their nations, to sail directly from the Mediterranean, and on to the Indian Ocean, to dispute the monopoly of the East Indian trade. Having itself first been won by the Portuguese, later claimed by the Dutch, to finally befall an Englishman, itself features more acts made of more miraculous deeds and misfortunes, than pure chance. All of which, had steeped tradition, using the same route around the Cape of Good Hope. Displacing their ideas, with little more than an historical footnote, itself only found by chance, showed that their collaborative schemes, amounted to not a single thing, ever being done.
      Napoleon's occupation of France over Egypt (1798-1801), he personally made the first survey, across the isthmus. Investigating the remains of the ancient canal, left by J.M. Le Père and bearing his name. His chief lines-of-communication engineer, erroneously calculated, the level of the Red Sea was 10 metres (33 feet), above the Mediterranean and, therefore, the use of locks, would be needed. With the adverse conditions under which the French surveyors worked and prevailing belief in a disparity of levels of the two seas, their errors were excusable. Le Père’s conclusion was uncritically accepted, followed by a succession of subsequent authors of canal projects.
      During 1834 to 1846, studies for the canal, were again being made, when in 1854, Ferdinand de Lesseps received an Act of Concession, delivered by the viceroy (khedive) of Egypt, Sad Pasha, granting permission for the construction of the canal. In 1856 with a second act, conferred rights to the Suez Canal Company (Compagnie Universelle du Canal Maritime de Suez), the rights to operate a maritime canal, lasting for 99 years after the completion of their work. Construction began in 1859, that took 10 years instead of 6 envisaged. Owing to climatic difficulties, and a cholera epidemic in 1865. Additional labour trouble, every last, slowed operations down, once again.
      Digging by hand with picks and baskets, forced labour, more than by use of 'peasants', being drafted, to provide drinking water in an otherwise arid area, was a small cutting. It expanded into a small canal (the Al-Ismliyyah), from the delta along the Wadi Tumelat, with a southern branch (now called the Al-Suways al-ulwah Canal). The two canals, combined, previously named, “the Sweet Water Canal”, running to Suez and with a northern one (Al-ʿAbbāsiyyah Canal), on to Port Said. Dredgers and steam shovels, operated by European labourers took over, and, as dredging proved cheaper than dry excavation, the terrain was artificially flooded and dredged wherever possible. Other than in a few areas where rock strata had still to be dealt with, the entire canal was driven, through sand or gold. In August 1869, with the waterway now completed, it was officially opened to an elaborate ceremony, starting on November 17, lasting three days', until changed conditions arrived on the 20th.
      You can find an almost verbatim account, told in a strikingly similar fashion, online at the Encyclopedia Britannica. My sources, are more factual and feature rich, than obscured views made in academia. If you want that, Google it.

      I agree that people should not be so quick to say stuff like that especially since we weren't there and have no idea what they really knew and what skills they really possessed. That being said it's the same sentiment when someone says the pyramids are 'simple' as they are no where near simple in this age of precision tooling and GPS assisted survayance so couple this with what we know they DIDNT have as aid it pushes the idea of there construction and original facades and surrounding grounds being monumental and rightfully holding its place as not just "a" but THEE paramount world wonder

      Fun facts, regarding the Pyramids, anywhere but in all three of the construction's critical sections, which is for the most part. It can be seen by a personal visit that the contents of all three constructions are mostly made from rubble. Another, which a bit more serious (but not by much), is the idea that they were built with the use of slaves, which is a total distortion of truth, a fabrication which brings other claims, into question.
      They were assembled, by paid members of groups assembled as paid workers, collectively known as, “The Friends of Cheops”, where Cheops, is better known as being, the Pharaoh Khufu. There are some records, unearthed around 2015, which have claims showing records, of wages paid to the several groups of workers. Mostly, stone working masons and master craftsmen, one part of this 20,000 strong group (of paid, skilled workers), hailed from around Axum, in Ethiopia, and another not that far away, with two, and possibly more, which have yet to be identified.
      Some parallels, have been drawn between stonework found in South America, and if this (highly likely even), were ever to be proven, demonstrates that early man was travelling across the oceans, and that international travel existed, long before in our 'modern' age.
      This only can account for the 2nd and 3rd, Pyramids (Greek, meaning 'fire in the middle', “pyro-mid-AE-due-uem”, reduced into a more simple fitting), the 3rd even bears the son of Khafre's inscription's. Pharaoh Menkaure hieroglyph's, claiming the 3rd and smallest of the three constructions, as being built by the son of Khafre, son of Khufu, (aka Cheops).
      The great pyramid itself, has no claims that exist (beyond fraud's and forgeries), of when or by whom it was ever constructed. In various claims, ranging from a modest figure of 12,000 BCE, that reach as far back as 50,000,000 BC. Before mankind, as it is claimed, even existed!
      If ever I heard a 'tall tale'. It is the great pyramid, where for the longest time, was the tallest building in the World, that this term, has its origin.
      Someone, with a good sense of humour, leaving only one item remaining in the “Grand Pyramid”, was a tiny little seated figure, that you could hold in the palm of your hand. 🤣Truly, a very grand figurine.

The entire Suez Canal, was a construction that lasted for around a thousand years, and may have even played a role in the formation of Arabs.

The nations who forced the slavery of their own people did not do this, the European White man nations did this.

In fact, the first man to ever be known trading in slaves, was black. Talk about throwing a curveball out there!
