Pyramids Not Built By Slaves
While the general consensus for many years has been that the pyramids were built by slaves, that might not be true. A series of old burial plots found in 1990 by a tourist suggest that the people who built the mighty structures were not slaves, but rather paid laborers. These tombs showed workers who were given beer and bread to take to the afterlife, something no slave would ever receive. What’s more, the workers were obviously held in high regard, as they were put in tombs very close to the sacred pyramids that were built for the pharaohs themselves.
