Prod ignIity Of Life In Ancient Egypt

The reckless prodigality with which
In ancient Egypt the upper classes
squandercd away the labor and lives
Of the people is perfectly startling. In
this respect, as the monuments yet re-
naming abundantly prove. they stand
alone and without rival. We may
form some idea Of the almost incred
ible waste when we hear that 1000
men were occupied for three years in
carrying single stone from Elephan-
tine to Sais, that the canal of the Red
sea alone cost the lives Of 10000
Egyptians and that to build one of the
pyramids required the labor Of 5000
men for twenty years.
