    It’s worth noting that archeologists believe pyramid workers were actually treated fairly well, and were even buried alongside the pyramids.

    It’s worth noting that this belief is based on you reading a Reddit post

    Damn, I didn’t realize that just reading a post on Reddit would influence archeologists that much. Too bad I didn’t actually read it on Reddit.

    Anyway, when I wrote my comment I wrongly remembered that this was true for Egyptian pyramids (like the one in the picture) in general, though this has only really been shown in relation the pyramids of Giza.

    You could’ve just pointed that out instead of being an asshole about it…

    that demonstrated that some workers at that one pyramid ate some bread and beef.

    …though this statement leads me to believe you don’t actually know what you’re talking about; they literally found the oldest bakery in Egypt there, and they found much more than just evidence of high quality food.
