CAIRO - Egyptian archaeologists discovered a new set of tombs belonging to the workers who built the great pyramids, shedding light on how the laborers lived and ate more than 4,000 years ago, the antiquities department said Sunday.
The thousands of men who built the last remaining wonder of the ancient world ate meat regularly, worked in three months shifts and were given the honor of being buried in mud brick tombs within the shadow of the sacred pyramids they worked on.
The newly discovered tombs date to Egypt's 4th Dynasty (2575 B.C. to 2467 B.C.) when the great pyramids were built, according to the head of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass.
Graves of the pyramid builders were first discovered in the area in 1990, he said, and discoveries such as these show that the workers were paid laborers, rather than the slaves of popular imagination.
"These tombs were built beside the king's pyramid, which indicates that these people were not by any means slaves," said Hawass in the statement. "If they were slaves, they would not have been able to build their tombs beside their king's."
Evidence from the site, Hawass said, indicates that the approximately 10,000 laborers working on the pyramids ate 21 cattle and 23 sheep sent to them daily from farms in northern and southern Egypt.
He added that the workers were rotated every three months and the burial sites were for those who died during the construction.
Discoveries like these reveal other aspects of ancient Egyptian society besides just the stone monuments and temples frequented by priests, rulers and nobles, explained Salima Ikram, a professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo.
"It is important to find tombs that belong to lower class people that are not made out of stone that tell you about the social organization and the relative wealth of a range of people," she said.
Workers' tombs from the 4th Dynasty were typically made of mud bricks and shaped like cones and covered in white plaster, probably echoing the nearby limestone-clad pyramids of the kings.
The most important new tomb discovered, according to Hawass, belonged to a man named Idu and the statement described it as rectangular in structure, with a plaster covered mud brick outside casing.
The tomb also featured burial shafts encased in white limestone.
Further grave sites were found around the main tomb, including burial shafts containing skeletons and clay pots.
(these dudes had to be strong as an ox....eating meat all day and doin work son.....)

Cain and able is a metaphor for two different peoples, nomad sheppards and farmers.
When they talk of angels it is referring to hybrid offspring of nephilim and human.
Hope this helps

Yea I always thought that as well....

The Pyramids first off are octahedrons ..meaning what u see above is also bellow
"as above so bellow"
they are part of a complex defense mechanism built by sirians from Sirius A with multiple functions ( likeinterdimensional gateways ) that interface with the cydonia complex on Mars and some places in central america

i believe they built them out of boredom.

Sure thing. The slaves were like, we have too much energy left after digging out the canals, lets ask the pharao, maybe he will let us pull huge stones at the afternoon.

Its documented that the pyramids were built by Mexicans...

I heard that Goldman Sachs was behind it...

That would have been funny, but Mexicans did or those who call themselves Mexicans didn't exist until a few hundred yrs ago.
Plus, check coral castle to see how the they did it.

Atlanteans. Egypt civilisation raised at the same moment as Sumerian civilisation.

Illegal romanian emigrants.

Third grade nephew and a couple of his friends did a school project on the Pyramids but went a bit beyond the actual history and developed the concept that the pyramids were actually built by an alien race named the Pyramidians and the fact that each and every pyramid points in the same direction (UP) proves that each pyramid is a small part of a giant map pointing to their home planet and the route back home.
They "twisted" many other Egyptian facts and just about convinced their classmates that those pyramids were not built by earthlings at all except for the fact that it was the earthlings who either rented or sold the land on which they are constructed.
The teacher was a humorous chap and gave them an A for their efforts. (Actually he's the kind of guy who stores his razor blades under triangular shaped objects and claims that he has been using the same razor for the past 20 years.)
And many others think that the kids were "Spot on".
Some GetBiggers too, I bet!

Built to attract tourist.
Pyramids not mentioned in the Bible. Might be in one of the 27 (I believe) books that were left out by the Catholic church. Known that Astrology was mentioned in a few.
Angels might be considered aliens. Angles had no sex organs..poor angles.
Went to Mormon missionary school for a while. Their Bible is loaded with aliens, space travel, angels, etc. I am a Jack Mormon at present. HBO's Big Love is pretty point on. Go to Four Corners (USA) when the true Mormons live.
Some experts offer that the pyramids were built for storing forbidden secret knowledge and a protection from invasion from the sky's. Not tombs for their kings and royal family's. Theory, by some, that deep under ground is where all the real treasures and knowledge is. And the pyramids are really diamond shaped.
The present Egyptian is not all that much connected to the original Egyptian during the great building phase of the pyramids. Racial difference, with mostly Arabian blood greatly mixed in after 3 to 4 thousand years. Something like present Greeks having really no racial connection to the original Greeks thousands of years ago. Just look at the old statues and art work to confer this.
Not really slave labor. This has been know for many years. Masons original planners. The Operating Engineers, local 170, union completed most of the construction of all the Pyramids

Most getbiggers will have to agree whoever built those things must have been juiced to the gills.
-
the pyramids all sit on the 30th paralel. They were landing beacons in post deluge earth, amongst other capabilities as Sev. mentioned. And yes who ever they were they were Juiced to the gills. ;D

Must be acute angles.
/runs for cover

The Illuminati did it. I believe they transported them through a hyper gate and dropped them in Egypt.

Yes and they got their test straight from the tap.
-
A whole bunch of dumbasses.
-
bottom line is nobody has a damn clue who built them, how, or even when. all the 'facts' spouted and printed by 'experts/egyptologists' like zawi hawass are nothing more than personal theories and pure speculation based on laughably little actual hard evidence.
-
They where built by Leonard Nemoy and William Shatner.
-
it is possible for humans to build the pyramids though
they start with the large bricks as foundation on the ground
then as the pyramid gets taller, they use ladders and carry they straw and water to the upper level
once they carry they straw and they water to the next level they make they bricks there on top
once the second level is set they extend the ladder from the second level
then they bring they straw and they water to the third level, where they make they bricks
repeat until top, and it gets easier as they go up because they need less brick for smaller parts

Toxie, have you seen The fourth kind?

The Reptilians, in partnership with the Nazis, beamed them in through an inter-dimensional gate. They're actually the housing units for a weapon that will destroy the Sun.

The Jews built the Pyramids... Ask Ron!
nu uh... they just renamed em...drove the egyptians out in the name of "its our motherland" and made everyone believe all pissed off exiled egyptians were terrorists....
the egyptians then threw a few rocks, captured some jews but in return the jews nailed the egyptians with the reptilian death rays....
the egyptians in desperation made an idiotic move and started performing suicide rockings...
now all egyptians are branded terrorists...
