Would You Survive in Ancient Egypt? #shorts

1157 BC. You dig royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings. You are not a slave, you get paid in grain. But the pay is 18 days late, so the whole crew puts down their tools and sits behind a temple: the first recorded strike in history, written down in the Turin Strike Papyrus. Workers' absence lists from the village of Deir el-Medina include real excuses like "stung by a scorpion" and "brewing beer". After death, embalmers pulled the brain out through the nose with a hook. And some tombs were robbed by the same workers who built them.

Would you survive? Comment YES or NO.
