Pyramid Builders Were Not Slaves – 4,000 Year-Old Skeletone DNA Proved

Newly discovered tombs in Egypt are revealing that their occupants worked on and helped build the Great Pyramids of Giza, providing evidence that enslaved people did not, in fact, build these ancient monuments. The modest 9-foot shafts hold over a dozen skeletons of pyramid builders, preserved by the desert’s dry sand, along with jars of beer and even bread for the afterlife. These mudbrick tombs were uncovered near the Great Pyramids, stretching beyond a burial site first found in the 1990s and dating to the 4th Dynasty (approximately 2575 BC to 2467 BC), on the fringes of the present-day capital, Cairo.

The Slave Myth that Refuses to Die

Herodotus, the ancient Greek historian, often called the “father of history,” once described the pyramid builders as enslaved people, a claim most Egyptologists say is a myth. Popular fiction and Hollywood filmmakers have propagated the myth, portraying the pyramid builders as abused victims of a cruel ruler. Egypt’s chief archaeologist, Zahi Hawass, said the finds show the workers were paid laborers rather than enslaved people: “the workers were not recruited from slaves commonly found across Egypt during those times”.
