Egypt’s Exciting Tomb Discoveries
The most famous example is the Giza worker’s cemetery, located near the pyramids of Giza.
The Giza worker’s cemetery was first discovered in 1990 and has been the subject of ongoing archaeological research. The tombs found there belong to the workers who were involved in the construction of the Great Pyramids of Giza during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Egypt, around 2600-2500 BCE.
These tombs provide valuable insights into the lives of the pyramid builders and the organization of labor during the construction of the pyramids. The workers were not slaves but were rather skilled artisans and craftsmen who were involved in various aspects of pyramid construction.
The tombs at the Giza worker’s cemetery are relatively simple compared to the grand tombs of the pharaohs, but they still contain valuable artifacts and evidence of the lives of the workers. They often include burial goods such as pottery, tools, and food offerings.
It’s worth noting that there may have been additional discoveries or ongoing research since my last update. To stay updated on the latest findings regarding the tombs of pyramid workers, I recommend consulting reliable archaeological sources or news outlets.
