A proposito di questo titolo

We know the Pyramids of Giza were built, but who paid for them and how did the economy support such massive projects? In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the economic engine behind the Fourth Dynasty pyramids. They discuss the role of the pharaoh as both a religious figure and an economic administrator, the system of taxation and redistribution that fed and housed thousands of workers, and the surprising evidence of state-supported healthcare and rationed food. Lucas explains how the annual Nile flood was the linchpin of the economy, how scribes tracked every loaf of bread, and why the pyramid project may have been a form of stimulus. Luna asks about wages, strikes, and whether the workers were slaves. They also touch on the discovery of worker cemeteries that reveal a stratified labor force, from skilled artisans to temporary conscripts. The episode highlights the bureaucratic genius of the Old Kingdom and the material culture of the people at the base of the pyramid. From grain accounting to bread molds, from beer rations to medical care, this conversation paints a vivid picture of life in the shadow of the Great Pyramid.
