Wealth distribution in an ancient Egyptian society
arXiv:cond-mat/0410414 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.66.057104
Abstract
Modern excavations yielded a distribution of the house areas in the ancient Egyptian city Akhetaten, which was populated for a short period during the 14th century BC. Assuming that the house area is a measure of the wealth of its inhabitants allows us to make a comparison of the wealth distributions in ancient and modern societies.
