Pharaoh vs You: The Elite Life of Ancient Tomb Builders

Описание: Think you know who built the magnificent tombs in the Valley of the Kings? It wasn't the slaves you see in Hollywood movies.


Welcome to Deir el-Medina, also known as Set-Ma'at (The Place of Truth). This was a top-secret, exclusive community home to the most skilled architects, painters, and sculptors of Ancient Egypt. They were the "Labor Elite"—highly educated, free citizens who were paid a fortune in grain, beer, and even meat to ensure the Pharaoh's immortality.


But life in paradise wasn't always smooth. In this video, we dive into:


The Elite Lifestyle: Why these builders earned 7 sacks of grain while others only got 5.


The World’s First Strike: What happened in 1159 BC when their rations stopped and they shouted, "We are hungry!" against the mighty Ramses III.


Tomb Secrets: How they used their "days off" to build their own stunning tombs that rivaled the nobles.



The "Ostraca" Records: The limestone "tweets" that revealed their family dramas, divorces, and legal battles.


Discover the human side of Ancient Egypt—not through the eyes of kings, but through the hands of the ordinary people who made them eternal.
