0:01The royal architect held
one of the most powerful
0:03positions in ancient
Egypt.
0:06He not only supervised
the construction, but
0:09also the logistics of
building a pyramid.
0:14Projects could take
decades to complete.
0:17So the architect of the
Bent Pyramid probably
0:19lived in a splendid
home.
0:24Here he worked among a
lavish tree lined garden
0:27oasis. Surrounded by
servants to comfort and
0:32shade him as he
monitored the progress.
0:35The royal architect
enjoyed luxurious meals
0:39and maybe even a visit
from the Pharaoh himself.
