Egyptian archaeologists discovered a new tomb belonged to the workers who built the great pyramid. This illustrates how the workers lived and ate more than 4000 years ago. Thousands of people who built the ancient wonders of the world is left is used to eat meat regularly, three months working in shifts, and given the honor of burial in the tomb of mud bricks in the shadow of the sacred pyramid that they do.
“Newly discovered tomb is located in the 4th Dynasty of Egypt (2575 BC to 2467 BC) when the great pyramid was built,” according to the head of the Supreme Council of Ancient Egyptian Goods Zahi Hawass. A number of tombs of the pyramid builders was first discovered in this area in 1990. These findings suggest that workers are paid, not a slave to the popular imagination. “This tomb was built beside the pyramid tomb of a king who shows that these people can not in any way is called a slave,” Hawass said in a statement. “If they were slaves, they would not be able to build next to their king’s tomb,” he said.
Evidence from the site, Hawass said, showed that some 10,000 workers who worked to build a pyramid is supplied at least 21 cows and 23 sheep to eat them every day from farms in northern and southern Egypt. The workers were rotated every three months. Burial site is intended for workers who died during construction. “The findings of this kind reveal other aspects of ancient Egyptian society, but only a stone monuments and temples are often visited by priests, rulers, and nobles,” said Salima Ikram, a professor of Egyptology at the American University , Cairo, Egypt.
“It is important to find the graves of those lower classes who are not made of stone and talked about the social organization and the relative wealth of people,” he said
