Best Answer

Most pyramid builders were peasants conscripted during the inundation of the river Nile when work was not possible in the fields. The Pharaoh was able to call upon this pool of labour for months at a time without disrupting the national economy and without having to provide more than basic subsistence. The majority of these men, if not all, would have been naked. This system of temporary forced labour or corvée was little more than slavery, supported by a system of harsh punishments designed to deter anyone from deserting.
