Tombs of Pyramid builders found in Egypt

Achaeologists have discovered a new set of tombs for the workers who built the Great Pyramids, shedding new light on how the labourers lived and ate more than 4,000 years ago, Egypt’s antiquities department said today.

According to the statement from the head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass, the tombs date to Egypt’s 4th dynasty (2575 BC to 2467 BC) when the Great Pyramids, the last remaining ancient wonder of the world, were built.
