Dei El Madina | City of the Workers
Dei El Madina | City of the Workers

The name was given to the place after the Christian converted the temple of the goddess Hathor into a church and the church means Deir in Arabic so it means the church of the monastery of the town. The place was discovered between "1905-1909" and they found a village, cemetery, temple, and a large amount of Ostracs, almost 5000 pieces which tell about their daily life.

We know that in that place they discovered the oldest laundry in the world. We knew also about the payment system. Sure, was not money but a piece of land, head of animals, and a little house. We knew that the government cared about the worker's life, the week counted in that time 10 days and normally workers had 3 days off in which they can go and visit their families and rest from work.
