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 B.C. Assuming that the house area has a power law dependence of the wealth of its inhabitants allows us to make a comparison of the wealth distributions in ancient and modern societies.
