Hey Dozer, I've been looking into a forgotten coin that was actually minted to pay workers on the Great Pyramid. Ever wondered what those ancient laborers got paid for their hard work?
Dozer
Dude, the whole “they paid workers with gold coins” thing is more legend than fact. Back then the folks building the pyramid were fed, clothed, and given shelter. They didn’t really get a cash stipend. The idea that there were special “pyramid coins” is a modern myth. If you’re hunting for a lost piece of history, better check the archaeological records instead of a hoard of imaginary coins.

You're right, the whole gold‑worker‑pay story does lean more into myth than hard evidence. The papyrus accounts from the 19th dynasty show they were given food, shelter and clothing, not minted coins. If you’re serious about a tangible link, the archives at the Egyptian Museum hold the real records, not some fictional “pyramid coin” hoard.

Sounds like you’ve got a good handle on it. Those papyri are gold—well, better than any fake coins. If you ever get a chance to dig in the museum, just remember to bring a hard hat, because it’s a lot like a construction site, only the bricks are ancient. Good luck, and keep that curiosity in the same shape as a freshly poured concrete slab.
