Who, precisely, built Cheops´ Pyramid, and what WAS in his contract with Cheops?
The first Pyramid, that of Djoser, was built by Imhotep, and he´s become a god. A builder of Cheops´ Pyramid is not as famous. But is there a specific builder known of Cheops´ Pyramid?
There were several thousands of workers busy building Cheops´ Pyramid, for years. Many of them must have died. (Even if they were young and healthy, fit for work, and those who became old or disabled were sent home and buried elsewhere, a number would have died of short illnesses and accidents). What do graves of the workmen themselves who built Cheops´ Pyramid look like?
What are the graves of the leaders of the building project like? Do they have inscriptions specifying their job assignments at building Cheops´ Pyramid?
Deir-el-Medina that built the tombs of Valley of Kings had under 100 workers. And a foreman named Paneb was accused of a number of thefts.
Did the leading builders of Cheops´ Pyramid commit anything that Cheops would have regarded as theft/fraud?
