Who Built Gizas Pyramids(金字塔)?
1 For centuries，the pyramids of Giza have been timeless symbolsof Egyptian culture．But who actually built them?Foryears，we did not know for sure．Butarcheologists(考古学家)recently discovered an ancientvillage near the pyramids．Close by，there was also a cemetery(墓地)where pyramidbuilders were buried．From studying these places，archeologists can now confirm that the pyramids were not built byslaves or foreigners．Ordinary Egyptians built them．
2 It took about eighty years to build the pyramids．Accordingto archeologists，about 20，000～30，000 people were involved in completingthe task．The workers had different roles．Some dug up the rock，some moved it，and some shaped it into blocks．People alsoworked on different teams，each with its own name．On a wall in KhufuS Great Pyramid，forexample，a group of workers wroteFriends of Khufu．Teams often competed to doa job faster．
3 Life for these workers was hard．We can see that in theirskeletons(骨架)，says Azza M0hamedSarry El一Din，a scientiststudying bodies found in the cemetery．The bones showsigns of arthritis(关节炎)，whichdeveloped from carrying heavy things for a long time．Archeologistshave also found many female skeletons in the village and cemetery．The damage to their bones is similar to the mens．Their lives may have been even tougher：maleworkers lived to age 40～45，butwomen to only 30～35．However，workers usually had enough food，and theyalso had medical care if they got sick or hurt．
4 The work was challengin9，but laborers were proud of theirwork．Its because they were not just building the tombof their kin9，says Egyptian archeologist Zahi Hawass．They were building Egypt．It was a nationalproject，and everyone was a participant．
