SLAVES DIDN'T BUILD PYRAMIDS: EGYPT The tombs of ancient
Egyptian pyramid builders suggest these artisans were respected
-- and paid -- for their work The workers were employed for
three-month stints, and the tombs, which date from the 4th and
5th Dynasties (2649-2374 BC), were for those who died during
construction. The authorities have long fought what they call
the "myth" of slaves building the pyramids, saying it undermines
the skill involved in their construction, and the sophistication
of ancient Egypt's civilisation. This is not to say that there
were no slaves in ancient Egypt. There were but they were mostly
captives from war. http://www.algemeiner.com/wp-

demographics of thousands of years ago. I was told by a history
professor that ancient Romans and even Greeks were blond. I
don't know if that's true or even necessarily believe it but I
guess it is possible. "Pharaoh" while a cool nickname was also
the name of a car club in American Graffiti.
