    A workday was also like 4 hours or less in biblical times though.

    The idea that people in the past worked long, grueling hours due to lack of technology is a myth. People had way more free time in those days.

      I’ve heard this a few times and wholeheartedly believe it. But I don’t know any sources, when I’m asked. Do you happen to know any?
