    They didn’t have modern medicine and a solid understanding of nutrition in ancient times? No way!

    They used the area as a cemetery for nearly a millennium, starting in the 6th century BCE, centuries before the construction of Egypt’s pyramids.

    Wasn’t the Great Pyramid built around the 27th century BCE?

      What the actual fuck? 6thC BCE is already after Romes founding, that’s a fucking hideous mistake

      Simultaneously, the slaves were well fed and the royals weren’t. It really sounds like too many deserts

          I’m confused. I didn’t mean anything by it. Have you not heard about the pyramid slaves being well fed?

            I mean if they did manual labour they would have to be well fed as any slave doing manual labour. I fee like this statement is sus tho

              There’s a neat phenomenon in middle ages Europe where peasants often had more nutritious diets than royals. The explanation I’ve seen is that the peasants ate a varied diet, while the royals only ate the things they wanted. So the royals would often have bad teeth from sugar and a lack of chewing.
