Slaves in Ancient Egypt

During the wars between tribes, winners conquered and got some captives. First Egyptians didn't have the idea to make them work. Everything captive could get by his/her work was used for his/her meals. That is why the captives of Egypt were killed and were called "the killed ones".

When the work of people became more productive, Egyptians stopped killing the captives. Usually they were taken as the loots during the war. They were usually taken by rich Egyptians as well as by the leaders of the tribes. And people started to call the captives "the live killed".

These people made the class of slaves in Ancient Egypt. Slave didn't have any property. He/she belonged to the owner and the owner of the slave had the right to beat the slave, sell him/her and even to kill them.

Slaves were made to work hard. For example, women-slaves powdered the seeds into the flour using the stones. Everything done by slaves belonged to the owner of the slave. And the owner gave slaves food that he/she needed have power for work.

Rich and famous Egyptians that had slaves belonged to the class of slaveholders. They didn't work by themselves and lived in rich houses surrounded by gardens. They wore clothes from the thin fabric. They had the golden bracelets and the collars on the breast. They also had the knives with the holder decorated with gold. The richest slavers were the leaders of tribes.

Astronomy was always important in Ancient Egypt. That is why even the Pyramids were built according to the night sky forming the constellation. And Nile was playing the role of the Via Lacteal.
