Ancient Egyptian pyramid builders ate better then the average person

When you think of the ancient Egyptian pyramid builders, one does not immediately imagine a comfortable life. At least with regards to their diet, it seems they ate quite well, as suggested by the faunal analysis which indicates that about 4,000 pounds of meat were being slaughtered a day to feed these workers. Also, the data revealed that those who oversaw the workers and the construction, ate mostly beef, which was the most prized meat during that time.
