How can we know that the Great Pyramids weren´t built by slaves but by paid workers?
In: Other
The tl;dr is that the word used to describe labours, was actually never slave, it was just erroniously translated as slave
Words they did use is bak, hem, hem-nesu, seker-ank, a-mu, heseb, djet, and meryet, neither whos connotion or dennotation means slave, cause there is no word that means slave.
Like they where forced into it, thats true, but they also got housed, fed, watered and paid, and there might also have been entertainment provided, both lewd and non-lewd.
Do remember, that egypt was a tropical region when the pyramids were built, not a desert.
