“Finding gainful employment was difficult for prehistoric man, the rock work was likely accomplished by bored individuals.”

It is said that the great cathedrals of the Middle Ages were constructed, or were able to be instructed because men weren’t dividing their time between earning income to pay taxes. Being free from a tax burden men able to apply their labors to these altruistic constructions without the constraint of a tax burden hanging over their head.

Were they paid? Of course they were, but it was probably more of a per diem type of arrangement and the labor for the cathedrals was essentially a labor of love and a labor for God.
