Workers' Tombs: A Witness to the Greatness of the Pyramid Builders

The tombs of the workers who built the pyramids are one of the most important archaeological discoveries that shed light on the lives of the ancient Egyptians, especially the working class who contributed to the construction of the Seven Wonders of the World.

These tombs were discovered near the Giza Pyramids, confirming that the workers who built the pyramids were not slaves, but rather skilled workers who received good care from the ancient Egyptian state. The tombs contain the remains of skeletons, construction tools, and inscriptions that reveal the nature of their daily lives, their food, and the work methods they used.

Evidence shows that these workers lived in nearby residential complexes, and were provided with food and health care, reflecting the ancient Egyptians’ appreciation for skilled labor.

This discovery proves that building the pyramids was a national project in which thousands of Egyptians participated, so that their legacy remains a witness to the greatness of ancient Egyptian civilization.
