Have you ever wondered who built the pyramids? The huge triangle-shaped buildings in Egypt. Well if you have, slaves didn’t build the pyramids. This is because according to Document A, Herodotus said, “He compelled all Egyptians to work for him.” He also said, “They worked in gangs of a hundred thousand men, each gang for three months.”
In Document B it claims, “One hundred thousand lash-driven men poured their sweat and blood for twenty years to complete this resting place which King Khufu considered fit for his royal remains.” This shows that yet again no one would enjoy building the pyramid by cause of it was hard work. That supports slaves building the pyramid considering no one would want to build the pyramid so the planner of the pyramid had it force people into building it and it would be much easier to just use at least some slaves. The final document, Document E, has evidence that contradicts the notes stated in Document C.
Overall, slaves were not a main part in building pyramids since workers who died building the pyramids had the honor of being buried near their pharaoh along with bread and beer, nobody knows how many slaves were employed in the work, and the working gangs that had been created had names like, “the Friends of Khufu.” Clearly, the evidence points to the fact that slaves had not been a key link in building the
The farmers of Ancient Egypt came up with a system to water their fields, called irrigation. This system was consisted of dams, ditches and canals to move the water to their fields (Document 3). Irrigation is still used in present day. Everyone knows about the pyramids, and that the Ancient Egypts built them, but not everyone knows how they
The Egyptians created several different systems that were used for constructing pyramid. One of those system would be the ramp and lever pully system and this allowed them to place bricks and stones on top of each other with ease. Another Advancement that helped the Egyptians with construction was mathematics and astronomy, and they were very good at
One group of reformers that advocated peaceful social change by granting the power to vote to all workers were called Chartists. They were active in England from 1838 to 1848, and they presented a series of petitions (or "charters") to Parliament advocating political change. The Chartists reasoned that the Reform Act of 1832 did not go far enough in extending political power outside a small group of the wealthy and aristocrats. The Chartists also recognized that the Parliament, in 1833, had adopted some regulations that applied to the textile industry. The Chartists wanted more stringent regulations that would also extend to other industries.
Reconstruction Era took place following the Civil War, in the years 1865-1877. It was a time that had many different leaders with which had their own objectives and plans. This was a time with great pain, endless questions, and goals. Although there were struggles and pain along the way The Reconstruction was a success.

The knights were the ones who protection everyone in the kingdom. The last people on the pyramid was the peasants, which paid rent and farmed the land (they really didn 't get a lot of respect). Similar to Source B, Source C states there were trade routes, so that people can trade gold and salt. Also, the territory were getting taken over. The last thing is that the dates were also getting taken over.
In the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass written by Frederick Douglass, there is a vast difference between the lives of slaves on the plantation and the lives of slaves in the city. In Douglass' experience as a slave he had entirely different encounters with punishment, money, and basic needs depending on where he was. Douglass was punished as a slave many different times in his life, but the punishment for different offenses changed depending on where he was. On the plantations it was very common for a slave to be whipped publicly for extended periods of time. The owners and overseers of the slaves had absolutely no problem physically punishing a slave if need be. "

Did you know that the average cost of a slave in America about 1850s was about $400, which as of today it would be about $12,000 ? “Slaves” come from the slavonic population in Eastern Europe, which they were also enslaved in the Middle Ages. A slave is defined when (slave)owners basically just take control of others and force them to obey their commands. When i was reading the Equiano, I noticed that him and his sister had got captured when they were little children and were brought on the ship where they were then labeled as slaves. They had no way to escape, they were trapped, there was no other way to get back to their hometown so they basically had nothing else to do but work for the slave masters.
Standing over 140 meters tall and made up of more than two million stone blocks, the pyramid remains one of the largest and most impressive constructions ever undertaken by humans. It is a testament to the Pharaohs' ambition, engineering prowess, and ability to mobilize a massive workforce to achieve their goals. But the Pharaohs' influence went far beyond their architectural achievements. They also oversaw the development of a complex religious system that emphasized the importance of appeasing the gods through offerings, sacrifices, and rituals.
According to our textbook, it was Imhotep who concluded that pharaohs needed a great monument to express who he was. Imhotep built the Step Pyramid at Saqqara in Egypt, also know as the Step Pyramid of King Djoser. The Step Pyramid at Saqqara took twenty years to build and was created with cut stone and was two hundred feet high.. As the pyramids were built to showcase the power and prestige of the kings, it was also to serve as the resting place for pharaohs. Not only was Imhotep an inventor of the pyramids but
“His legs wobbled as he tried to stand but could not. The soldiers beat him harder with the whip to make him get up.” Beyond being rushed out of their homes, they had to endure through hazardous and sometimes fatal conditions. Indians who were slow to follow were severally punished like the man above. Other times, the ones that lagged behind were shot.
The pharaohs were buried in pyramids of many different shapes and sizes from before the beginning of the Old Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdom. There are about eighty pyramids known today from the ancient Egypt. The three largest and best-preserved of these were built at Giza at the beginning of the Old Kingdom. The most well-known of these pyramids was built for the pharaoh Khufu. They are also Known as The “Great Pyramids” They have tomb paintings and hieroglyphic texts that provide a glimpse into the world of their elite life, but information on the lives of ordinary people remains scarce.
