Video - Revolution in Robes: The First Workers' Strike of 1152!
When you think of the Middle Ages, you imagine knights, castles, and kings... But did you know one of the first workers' strikes happened way back then β and it changed everything? In the year 1152 in Egypt, laborers building grand tombs grew tired of broken promises. Their wages β paid in bread and beer β stopped arriving. At first, they waited. Then... they marched. Hundreds of workers laid down their tools and organized a peaceful protest β demanding fair pay. Imagine: in a world ruled by pharaohs and fear, these workers stood up and said, 'Enough!' And it worked. The officials caved, the food was restored, and history recorded the first true labor movement. Not in modern times... but centuries ago.
