話題沸騰中の How Egypt Built Pyramidsについて、多角的な視点を整理して公開しています。

So how many people did it take? Herodotus said 100,000 men. Modern estimates say 20,000 to 30,000.

That’s still a small city. But with better organization than most modern construction sites.

Why Were Pyramids Built In Ancient Egypt

They had work crews with names like "Friends of Khufu" or "Drunkards of Menkaure." Yes, really.

Team spirit, baby.
