What daily life would be like for a pyramid builder?

Answer 1

Working, working ,working. always working.

Daily life would be much like people work today on huge building projects. Like today, it would have required workers for many different sets of skills to accomplish the job, many of which would be skilled jobs. They would need engineers, equipment suppliers, quarry labor, transportation, stone cutters and finishers, site laborers and supervisors. There is evidence that in some locations, villages for workers were built right next to the worksites, sometimes accommodating the workers' families. People could walk to their worksite but food and other necessities for life would need suppliers and vendors in proximity to the site also.

Answer 2

Pyramid builders had to work very hard to build the pyramid, this can be years!

They serve in their crew, gang, phyles and division, and then they're rotated out and you go back to their own household. There are thousands of workers and people of all kinds.

Archaeologists found 600 skeletons of workers who had died or gotten injured while building the pyramid.

Answer 3

A pyramid builder in ancient Egypt would have worked long hours, typically 10-12 hour days, under the direction of skilled overseers. They would have had a diet consisting primarily of bread, beer, and perhaps some vegetables, and lived in simple, mud-brick homes near the construction site. Life would have been physically demanding and challenging, with little time for leisure or personal pursuits.
