What we recognize

... and a lot of time had to pass before we got the internet.
Those who prevented access to information for centuries are still sitting in their places.

The time for a big change must come

Simple question. Why we still don't know who and how built the pyramids. Our answer is, the pyramids were built by the Anunnaki, but this is still taboo today due to religions.
--------
The nineteenth century was an era of great transition. Technological, industrial and manufacturing advancements altered every aspect of daily life, including transportation, commerce and law. Between the regency of King George III and the reign of Queen Victoria, a person might have witnessed the advent of steam locomotives, photography, refrigeration or the telegraph. This progress heralded a wealth o f new employment opportunities, speculative plans for financial gain and a general sense of well-being as overall living conditions improved. Should anyone have been in doubt as to how to proceed, he or she might have read one of the hundreds of etiquette books published during the period.

Simple question. Why can't we build pyramids today?
Because they built them with technologies that are still forbidden to us today.

The middle class had grown


In the nineteenth century, the middle class had grown wealthy enough to hire staff. To keep up appearances, they found it necessary to hire at least one servant, even if this was an untrained servant girl who worked for her keep and the smallest of wages.


Domestic Servants

At the end of the nineteenth century, even those families at the bottom of the middle class had pride enough to engage a step girl, who on Saturday mornings scrubbed the front steps and pavement, her presence intended to be noted by neighbors and passersby. The number of servants kept on staff, and their conduct and appearance, quickly became a mark of status, especially among those near the top of the class ladder. Doctors, lawyers, engineers and other professionals were quick to build a staff, believing it essential to employ at least three servants.

Before the nineteenth century

Annual holidays and days off during the week or month were usually not allowed. It was generally accepted that from the time servants entered into service, their every moment belonged to the master or mistress, and they were expected to abandon thoughts of conducting any sort of private lives outside the house

Sunday evenings

It was frowned upon for servants to have friends or relatives call at the back door, and any female servants who had followers were dismissed. Later, the masters of many large houses allowed the servants to receive friends or family at the house upon certain occasions. In some houses, especially those in town, the servants were required to attend church on Sunday evenings. A cold dinner would have been served to the family in order that the servants might get away in time for the service.


Christmas holidays

During their time off, servants most often visited the home s o f nearby friends and relatives or some public house that catered to the servant classes. Often, grand events were held for servants at the larger houses during the Christmas holidays, including themed dances and masquerades. On March 13, 1819, the Prince of Wales personally hosted a supper in the kitchen of the Brighton Pavilion for his servants, and each year Queen Victoria hosted a Ghillie's Ball for her servants at Balmoral Castle.


Pensions for retiring

In 1837, the Department of Treasury proposed the following pensions for retiring royal servants: Samuel Jemmet, Senior page of backstairs in constant attendance upon the late king upward o f thirty-five years, is sixty-seven years of age and much entitled to favorable consideration.

Income 440 pounds per annum with apartments. Margaret Yeackle personal housemaid to George IV and William IV, twentyfive years in service, very infirm. Proposed allowance 50 pounds per annum.

Retirement

By saving their money, servants could retire in comfort, especially if they had been remembered in deceased employers wills or with annuities or pensions. Along with these monies, upper servants familiar with the ways of the gentry could easily enter a community and live in comfort. Retired male servants might set themselves up in some respectable trade, with many keeping public houses.
