Egyptian archaeologists say they have discovered tombs of workers who helped build the country's largest pyramid. As Keith Adams reports, the discovery sheds light on how they lived. The tombs made from bricks of dried mud date back 4, 500 years. According to Egypt' s head of antiquities, Zahi Hawass, they revealed far from being slaves. Those who toiled on the Great Pyramid were free and enjoyed relatively good working conditions. He says their location, so close to the pyramid, which itself a tomb for their king, proves they weren' t of the slave class.
