The place I left this morning when heading to work was my home in the labor's neighborhood. The labor neighborhood is the home to every full-time Great Pyramid Giza worker. The homes do not only house the workers, but also our families too. I am a single young man, so the home is just for me. I am looking to start a soon family. There is no marriage ceremony in Egypt at the moment. If you want to start a family a woman just moves into your house. That is, it there is no ceremony or special ritual. There are a lot of us that live here in the village.  5,000 live in the permeant village. The homes are of normal size here in Egypt. The buildings here match the desert environment the buildings are a sandy tan color. It is a walled village to keep us protected. The wall is called the “Wall of the Crow. " The village is a running village it has everything we need to survive like markets, shops, and offices. There is another village alongside the main village. It is located outside the walls. It is more like a camp and is more temporary due to it only housing the part-time workers building the Great Pyramid of Giza. People who live in the village outside the wall are part-time workers some are famers who come work during the summer or doctors who need a job. There can also be people working on the Great Pyramid of Giza to pay off their debt to administrative people. There is a lot of death due to the heavy lifting we do daily basis. The labors are buried at the bottom of the sloping desert. Some tombs are decked out with miniature pyramids or limestone from the pyramid.
