CAIRO, Egypt. Egyptian archaeologists have discovered a set of tombs. These tombs are believed to belong to workers. Experts believe the workers died building the Great Pyramids of Giza. The Great Pyramids house the mummies of Egyptian kings. According to popular myth, these pyramids were built by slaves. But experts say that Egypt's ancient pyramids were built by paid laborers. They say the newly discovered tombs are proof that this idea is correct.

Archaeologists found the tombs in the shadows of the Great Pyramids. The tombs contain a dozen skeletons. The bones were perfectly preserved by dry desert sand. The skeletons were found surrounded by pots and jars. These containers were once filled with supplies for the afterlife. These supplies included food and drinks. Zahi Hawass is an expert on ancient Egypt. According to Hawass, the newly discovered tombs are over 4,000 years old.

Archaeologists believe the tombs belong to laborers who built the Great Pyramids. The tombs are made of mud brick. According to Hawass, it was normal for workers' tombs from long ago to be made of mud brick. Archaeologists believe the recently discovered tombs could not have belonged to kings. That is because they were lacking gold or other valuables. Also, the bodies were not mummified.

According to popular belief, the builders of the Great Pyramids were slaves. However, experts have long dismissed the notion as myth. The location of the workers' tombs, Hawass says, proves the idea wrong once and for all.

"These tombs were built beside the king's pyramid. [This shows] that these people were not by any means slaves. If they were slaves, they would not have been able to build their tombs beside their king's."

So where did the myth come from? Experts have several ideas.

Dorothy Resig is an editor of Biblical Archaeology Review. Resig suspects the myth likely arose from the biblical book of Exodus. It says: "So the Egyptians enslaved the children of Israel with backbreaking labor. [The king put them to work to build buildings]."

Herodotus was an ancient Greek historian. He also described the pyramid builders as Israelite slaves. This myth was later spread, experts say, by Hollywood movies.

Dieter Wildung used to be the head of Berlin's Egyptian Museum. "The myth of the slaves building pyramids is only the stuff of...Hollywood," said Wildung. "The world simply could not believe the pyramids were built without...forced labor, but out of loyalty." Wildung added that it is common knowledge among experts that the pyramid builders were not slaves.

The newly discovered tombs support the notion that the pyramid builders were indeed free citizens. Slaves or not, however, the pyramid builders did lead a life of hard labor. The skeletons show signs of great toil. Their lower back bones show lives passed in difficulty.

"Their bones tell us the story of how hard they worked," said Adel Okasha. Okasha oversaw the unburying of the tombs.

The laborers' work was highly respected, Hawass said. The laborers were granted the honor of being buried near the pyramids.

"No way would they have been buried [with such honor] if they were slaves," Hawass said.

SAQQARA, Egypt. An ancient Egyptian burial site called Saqqara is over 4,000 years old, but much of the area has yet to be discovered. The sizeable area was a burial site for the rulers of ancient Memphis. Memphis was the capital of the Old Kingdom. For this reason, each new find is a marvel. Recently, officials unearthed two amazing discoveries at Saqqara.

A Lost Pyramid

Believe it or not, it's possible to lose a giant pyramid. It can be buried under sand over thousands of years. In November 2008, archaeologists discovered a pyramid under the sands of Saqqara. Since then, officials have determined that the 4,300-year-old pyramid belonged to Queen Sesheshet.

A team led by Zahi Hawass had been digging at the location for two years. That's when they determined that what they had found was the base of a pyramid. Only 16 feet (about 5 meters) of the pyramid remains standing. Until officials dug it out, it had been buried under 65 feet (about 20 meters) of sand.

"There was so much sand dumped here that no one had any idea there was something buried underneath," said Hawass.

Archaeologists also found parts of the pyramid's white limestone casing. The limestone is believed to have covered the entire pyramid. After studying the casing, archaeologists determined that the complete pyramid was once 45 feet (about 14 meters) high.

Once they had uncovered the pyramid, scientists set about learning more about it. Using an air brush, one worker cleaned sand from stunning carvings on the white limestone casing. Meanwhile, archaeologists studied the carvings. The drawings tell stories of ancient Egypt. They may help uncover the mysteries of the pyramids.

In January, archaeologists entered the burial chamber inside the pyramid. They found the mummy of Queen Sesheshet. The queen's son Teti became an Egyptian king.

"To find a new pyramid is always exciting," said Hawass. "And this one is magical. It belonged to a queen."

The find is important because it adds to the understanding of ancient Egypt. It tells about the time from 2,322 BCE to 2,151 BCE. This was a time when Egypt made advances in agriculture and became very rich. At the end of this time, however, the riches came to an end. Soon, the Old Kingdom would fall.

What Tombs Tell Us

Saqqara is a source of endless wonder. In December 2008, archaeologists uncovered a pair of 4,300-year-old tombs near Queen Sesheshet's pyramid. The discovery shows that the burial site of Saqqara is even larger than once thought.

"… The two tombs are the beginning of a big, large [burial ground]," said Zahi Hawass.

Archaeologists studied the burial chambers. They determined that the tombs were built for high officials. One tomb describes the man for whom it was built. The second tomb includes carvings and a drawing of a seated woman.

Archaeologists are not especially interested in the tombs themselves. Why not? The tombs were not built for kings. Instead, the archaeologists are concentrating on what the tombs tell them.

"This [discovery] means the royal [burial ground] is bigger than we thought," said Saleh Suleiman. Suleiman is the archaeologist who uncovered the two tombs.

Aidan Dodson is an archaeologist. Dodson was not involved in the dig. However, Dodson said that the discovery shows that there are other areas waiting to be explored.

"It shows that the blank areas of the maps of Saqqara aren't really empty at all. It's just that archaeologists haven't [gotten around] to digging them," Dodson said.

Digging has been going on at Saqqara for about 150 years. This work has uncovered pyramids, tombs, and other burial areas mostly from the Old Kingdom. Yet past digs have concentrated on just one area. The area where the latest discoveries were found has been largely untouched.

According to Hawass, only 30 percent of Egypt's monuments have been uncovered. The rest are still under the sand.
