accurately presents life around Egypt's pyramid workers

This is the story of the first pyramid workmen's town, a fascinating story for those who want to know more about Ancient Egypt's everyday life. The image of the 'whip-driven slave' is replaced by skilled workers who worry about normal everyday problems such as family, food and work conditions. Sure, the pyramids were made by very special people, but no, these people were not mysterious aliens. This study helps humanize the Ancient Egyptians.
