The pyramids are remarkable in scale, but for all the planar sides ground onto blocks they're not a great departure from the shape piles of rock assume on their own, as compared to the aqueducts, for instance.  The same applies to Europe - I mean, even if you had no morality to keep you form rolling your cousin, it wouldn't do to try it with someone who'd recognize you - most of what they've got going for them is inseparable from the fact that they view inbreeding as a status symbol/means of retaining wealth, let alone their problems with understanding liberty and general squalor.
