ArchaeoVideo - Interview with Dr Mark Lehner about the Lives of the Pyramid Builders
“Dr Lehner wants to know the answer to a question that rarely gets asked - Where and how did the workers who built the pyramids live? Estimates suggest there could have been anything from 5,000 workers that Dr Lehner suggests, up to 36,000 people, as proposed by Dr Zahi Hawass. However, since the most populated city in this era (thought to be around 40,000 people) was either Uruk, Mesopotamia, or Memphis, it is debatable exactly how many people were used to build the great structures.”
