Workers who built the pyramids in ancient Egypt were not paid with money, but rather with food, clothing, and housing. They were likely farmers who worked on the pyramids during the flood season when their fields were submerged. The work on the pyramids was considered a form of national duty or service to the pharaoh.
Victorian mudlarks were not paid for their work scavenging in the mud of the River Thames in London. They would collect items such as coal, rope, and other valuables to sell in order to survive.
Farmers typically worked on the pyramids for about three months during the flood season when their fields were flooded. This was a form of compulsory labor known as corvée, where peasants were required to work on public projects as part of their civic duty to the pharaoh. The rest of the year, they would return to their agricultural work.
Crafts workers in ancient Egypt were paid in goods, such as food, clothing, and other necessities, rather than in money. The value of their compensation depended on the complexity and quality of their work, as well as the demand for their skills. Craftsmen could also barter their products or services for other goods.
The Egyptian pyramids were constructed by skilled laborers, including stonemasons, carpenters, and other workers. These laborers worked under the supervision of overseers and architects, who planned and directed the construction process. The construction of the pyramids required a large workforce and sophisticated engineering techniques.
No, the Aztec pyramids were primarily built by skilled laborers and builders who were not enslaved. Slavery did exist in Aztec society, but slaves were typically used for agricultural work, household chores, or as sacrifices in religious ceremonies.
People didn't get paid like we do today. They got food, some got housing while working on the pyramids. Workers on the pyramids were a combination of slave labor and required work for the population. Copper tools were used and this required constant reworking and making the tools since copper is a soft metal and doesn't last long.
There were no money back then. only trading goods they weren't paid to work. they were doing it for the king or some aliens or something

The pharaoh's paid farmers to work on the pyramid during the off season, when no farming would have been done. A pharaoh would offer money to a team of people who would build the pyramids using basic tools, and they would pull the stone blocks using oxen.
