s'why I'm asking Hypography.
Does anyone know about the rations those workers were given?
For some reason
I'm very curious...

And...by who?
Was there an egyption government?
Or was there just some divine heiarchy that formed like an ant hill
i've heard about the beer, and apparently from the same lady. maybe it wasn't even about workers on the pyramids. tombs, tunnels, temples, streets, yada yada. i had to look this one up. >> Making Beer in Ancient Egypt

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
