Ancient Egyptian pyramids weren't just for the elite, study suggests

Tombos in Sudan may have included low-status high-labor staff, study finds.
Researchers examined 110 skeletons found at the archaeological site of Tombos .
They analyzed where muscles and ligaments (which had long since decayed) attached to the bone.
Previously, it was believed that pyramids were built for elite members of society.
Pyramids at Tombos are different from those at Giza or Saqqara , says Wolfram Grajetzki .
The pyramids at those sites were built for pharaohs and their queens rather than for nonroyal individuals.
Tombos was discovered in a 3,200-year-old tomb believed to belong to Ramesses III .
