5/27/2020 Treasure in a cigar box

The unassuming tin cigar box held a real treasure. It was at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. One of the staff here discovered wood from the pyramid of Khufu in Egypt inside the box. Experts say the artefact is of incalculable value.
The pyramid of Khufu (sometimes called Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the only one that has survived to the present day. According to the historian Herodotus, who visited Egypt around 450 BC and recorded the local legends, 100,000 men built the pyramid and it took them 20 years.
"If we count a thirty-five-hour work week, that adds up to an incredible 3.64 billion working hours. The federal minimum wage in the United States is $7.25 an hour, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. At that wage, it would cost $26 billion just to work on the construction of the Great Pyramid. And that's not counting the materials - quarrying, breaking, transporting, shaping, lifting and laying more than two million limestone blocks would be astronomically expensive," writes Joel Levy in Boeing in the Spider's Web.
The literal treasure of this Egyptian pyramid was discovered two years ago in Scotland. It was located at the University of Aberdeen in an inconspicuous tin cigar box. Hidden inside was a piece of wood from the pyramid of Khufu. Experts say this roughly 5,000-year-old fragment was used by the builders during construction.
The treasure was discovered by one of the museum's staff while she was going through the Asian collection. She noticed a box that had no place in the exhibit. It had a different serial number. The woman discovered one of three artifacts from the aforementioned Egyptian pyramid. In addition to the wood, they include a small lead ball and a metal hook. The items are housed at the British Museum.
The artefacts were recovered from the pyramid in 1872 by Waynmann Dixon, an engineer from Scotland. The piece of wood was given to the University of Aberdeen in 1946.
"I looked at the numbers in the Egyptian records. It was immediately clear to me that the tin box with the wood did not belong in the Asian collection. It's strange, they've been walking around the box for years and no one has figured it out," the finder said.
