Egyptian Pyramids

Historians and archaeologists have determined that the Egyptian pyramids were constructed by tens of thousands of workers laboring across two to three decades on each. What remains less certain is who these workers were. In this lesson, students read five documents to answer the question: Did slaves build the Great Pyramid at Giza?
