  • I mean at the same time

    Ancient Egyptians were able to sell themselves and children into slavery in a form of bonded labor. Self-sale into servitude was not always a choice made by the individuals’ free will, but rather a result of individuals who were unable to pay off their debts.[

    Several departments in the Ancient Egyptian government were able to draft workers from the general population to work for the state with a corvée labor system. The laborers were conscripted for projects such as military expeditions, mining and quarrying, and construction projects for the state. These slaves were paid a wage, depending on their skill level and social status for their work

    They used slaves for everything and paid them, so having a paid receipt is a weird distinction to try and make something less worse than it was.

    Were they? Got anything to support that? They even use the term slavery for their labor…

    Edit, oh man… bad look…

    They even say they pay their slaves.
