Egyptians built pyramids for free beer, wine THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEMESTER PRICE COUPON EXPIRES JULY 15, 1993 GIZA PLATEAU, Egypt Beer in the morning, beer in the afternoon, beer at night. A little wine thrown in for good mea sure. And after a hard day of cut ting stones for the pharaoh, time and energy left for a bit of hanky- panky. Life wasn't all work and no play for the workers who built the pyramids, tombs and temples of Giza Plateau. "History is life," said Egyptol ogist Zahi Hawass, in charge of an ancient cemetery yielding vol umes of information about the life and times of the pyramid work force. Archaeologists poking through garbage dumps, examin ing skeletons, probing texts and studying remains of beer jars, wine vats, and bakeries have dis covered all kinds of information about the pyramid builders: — Beer was dished out three times daily. There were five kinds of beer and four kinds of wine available. — They could build strong bodies in 12 ways — with 12 vari eties of bread. — Neatly trimmed pencil moustaches were in vogue, and workers had nicknames still pop ular today, like Didi and Mimi. — Their lives averaged 36 to 38 years, and industrial accidents took a toll. Six skeletons revealed deaths from injuries. Many others had bent spines from the weight of stone blocks they carried. — Ordinary Egyptians were monogamous, but some played around. And they kept up with the Joneses. Much of the new information comes from excavations over the past nine months in cemeteries found about three years ago. Recently found texts show that the pyramid builders were not slaves, as was long believed, but were free Egyptians.
