Ancient Egyptians Skipped Work Too 😂

3,200 years ago, a scribe in ancient Egypt recorded why tomb builders missed work: a sick eye, a scorpion sting, brewing beer, embalming a brother. The list is real. It's carved on a limestone flake (ostracon) from Deir el-Medina, now in the British Museum (EA 5634), dated to year 40 of Ramesses II.

Different century. Same Monday.
