@tiraofegypt: 💰 Think your paycheck is rough? Ancient Egyptian workers who built temples, tombs, and other incredible monuments were often paid in bread and beer instead of coins. Beer was so nutritious it was sometimes called "liquid bread," and together, bread and beer formed the foundation of an Egyptian worker's daily diet. In fact, the hieroglyphs for bread and beer could even mean "meal" or "sustenance." Egypt's greatest monuments weren't built with money. They were built with bread and beer. 🍞🍺 #AncientEgypt #History #HistoryFacts #Egyptology #Pyramids #AncientHistory #Archaeology #Egypt
