The workmen and their families did not farm, there were designated farmers, fishers, laundry personnel and others to take care of their daily needs. They were paid in grain and other foods and services. They earned extra goods and services by making tombs and funerary objects for private individuals. They decorated their neighborhood tombs in vivid style. The workmen's village existed for over 300 years. Many families lived there for generations, each providing skilled artists for the tombs of the Pharaoh's and their queens. Click the thumbnails below for detail views around the Workmen's Village. |
