Where does the Discovery Channel get some of their info?

Question

I was watching a documentary on the Discovery Channel today about the Pyramids in Egypt. In just the beginning paragraph, they made an outrageous claim, implied it as FACT. They said "No slaves were used to build the Pyramids, the 'fact is' contrary to popular 'myth' Egypt never had slaves... they didnt need them, they had the Nile River, which provided enough water and resources that they had enough free time to create the Pyramids without having slaves" 

Now, is it simply because there is the Nile River that they assume there were no slaves? Do they have any evidence besides that? If that's the case, the US never had slaves either since we have a lot of big rivers. :&#92;

It's called covering your a@@.   Too politically correct.   

The fact is in the U.S., Lincoln was willing to allow any slave holding state to return to the union and keep their way of life and slaves, if they returned.   Later, that policy changed.  You rarely will read that today only in older history books and those would have been printed in Britain around the turn of the last century.
