Excavations debunk a myth about the Pyramids

Send us your article... write the history!
One of the greatest lies in history.
Or better an inaccuracy which is generated by the erroneous belief that the Pyramids were built by slaves in Egypt. 
The Greek historians were the cause of all this because they couldn't convince themselves of the fact that the construction of the immense Pyramids could be possible without large numbers of slaves to work day and night. In addition, the Bible shows that slavery was widespread in Egypt so we believe that enormous Pyramids were built by hordes of slaves.That's wrong! 
Excavations near the Pyramid of Cheops have unearthed tombs of real workmen, people paid to build the pyramids and not slaves. 
The testimony of a strike in the 29th year of the reign of Ramses III was even found in a papyrus and it was discovered that during the floods of the Nile, the population was employed as laborers to build dams. 
As if that was not enough, during the construction of monumental tombs, that required even many years of work, villages where workmen could live were built and there were also schools!!

A mummy from 5300 years that never ceases to make history.
We're talking about Otzi, a mummy found the Alps in 1991 and still under study. A few days ago a team of scientists has made ​another analysis on Otzi, discovering that the new DNA is a different kind of code between the genes.
The importance of this research lies in the fact that scientists have analyzed for the first time the entire spectrum of the DNA of the mummy even if the most curious thing is to know what this non-human DNA belongs to.
It is a bacterium, 'Treponema Denticola', an opportunistic pathogen Involved in the development of periodontitis, unfortunately for fans of science fiction movies, far away from the hypothesis of a prehistoric virus or alien DNA. 
But it seems that in some ailments we have something in common with our ancestors...

Our ancestors were able to heal tooth decay.
The discovery has beenrecently made by in an ancient cemetery in Sudan where human remains, dating back to 2000 years ago, have been analyzed in laboratory. 

The results of the analysis showed that the ancestors had very healthy teeth: less than 1% of them suffered from tooth decay.
All this thanks to the 'Cyperus rotundus', a plant with special antibacterial properties that was used like both toothbrush and toothpaste.
However it is thought that the low percentage of caries is due to the fact that the ancestors, great hunters, ate mainly meat and very few carbohydrates (responsible for tooth decay). With the advent of agriculture everything changed  because people started to eat cereals with an increase of tooth decay.
