@@jimritzheimer7465 I really want to believe they fingered out how to manipulate and control rocks with sounds frequency techniques. In Egypt, I am glad to see that the builders (at least some) were not slaves. They had a nice village and seem to have had provided comfortable lives for the families of builders (even if builders' bodies were destroyed by working with the huge rocks). There was a high price but it seems worth it to them.

@deandeann1541 4 месяца назад

Many Roman mines were dug by prisoners and slaves. There was a copper mine the Romans had in the Middle East, the fumes from the Roman technique of building and quenching fires against the rock faces within the mine released dangerous fumes due to arsenic in the copper ore, the average life span of the miners after they began at the mine was estimated to be three weeks. The prisoners sentenced to the mines had an eye put out and the tendons behind the knee severed so they could not run from the guards (but they could still crawl in the mine). Huge human suffering was part of the Roman mining process. So many slaves died in the Roman mines that sentencing to the mines became common for lesser and lesser offenses as time progressed. I am glad I did not live there during that era of the late Roman Empire, when the Empire was struggling economically and needed what the mines produced so badly. Life became too cheap as a result.
