Modern Egyptians are not inferior to their ancestors in the skill of erecting colossal structures. Thus, 16.5 times more building materials went into the construction of the Aswan Dam than for the largest pyramid (the tomb of Cheops). The height of the dam reaches 111 meters, it was built over 10 years and is considered the most massive architectural structure of our time.
The dam is so grandiose that it is not difficult to see it even from space. Moreover, here you will see a 75-meter memorial dedicated to the brothers in spirit from the USSR, who helped in the construction of the hydroelectric complex. But here the interesting facts about Egypt are just beginning.
Contrary to popular belief, the famous pyramids were built not by disenfranchised slaves, who died in the hundreds from the whips of cruel guards, but by experienced and skilled workers. This is exactly what modern researchers believe.
The opinion about slaves was spread by Herodotus, who was born much later than the construction of the tombs. Archaeologists managed to find evidence that the builders lived freely, ate quality food in special canteens and even buried them not far from the pharaohs themselves, which is a special honor.
