21. A Day In The Life Of A Slave In Ancient Egypt | A Day In History

One of the most commonly held misconceptions about ancient Egypt is that slaves were used to build the pyramids. But recent archaeological evidence has found that this is not true, and it’s now suggested it was either farmers who built the pyramids when flooding meant they could not work on their own lands or that a workforce of labourers dedicated their entire lives to the task.That’s not to say Ancient Egypt didn’t have slavery. It did. It was just a little different to how we imagine it today….#slavery #ancientegypt #history #slave #cleopatra #slavesinegyptDISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.
