Philosophy & Evolution of Egyptian Pyramids

[Mudhammam]

Even a greek writer can be fundamentally wrong. According to archeological discoveries there were no slaves involved in the building of the pyramids. It was the work of free and highly paid workers and specialists, who resided in villages surrounding the site. We have these villages, we have some of the graves of the workers and we even know how the work crews used to called themselves.

Oh, no doubt Herodotus gets much wrong in his Histories. Maybe they were simply "labor workers" though I can't imagine that would have been a dignified position. Anyway, here are the relevant texts by him on the construction of the pyramids: http://www.cheops-pyramide.ch/khufu-pyramid/herodotus.html
