It was an honor to work for the Pharaoh is exactly what I would say if the Pharaoh was my boss. As a matter of fact it is what I say to my boss now!

I have read where there were times where construction stopped during planting and harvesting seasons because the “workers” had to go to the fields. So I could see how accounts could be mixed up between who were farmers/workers/slaves.

It may also depend on which pyramids and when. Some Pharaohs were not as benevolent as others.

Why does that explanation make me think of the game of pharoah
