hahhahaha the globalist re-education camps say that they werent slaves hahahahah ....

even though the source material contradicts

"Many slaves who worked for temple estates lived under punitive conditions, but on average the Ancient Egyptian slave led a life similar to a serf. They were capable of negotiating transactions and owning personal property. Chattel and debt slaves were given food but probably not given wages." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_ancient_Egypt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Slave_Market,_Mono_version.jpg

Egyptian slaves, specifically during the New Kingdom era, originated from foreign lands. The slaves themselves were seen as an accomplishment to Egyptian kings’ reign, and a sign of power. Slaves or b3k were seen as property or a commodity to be bought and sold. Their human qualities were disregarded and were merely seen as a property to be used for a master’s labor. Unlike the more modern term, “serf”, Egyptian slaves were not tied to land; the owner(s) could use the slave for various occupational purposes. The slaves could serve towards the productivity of the region and community. Slaves were generally men, but women and families could be forced into the owner’s household service.[5]

The fluidity of a slave’s occupation does not translate to “freedom”. It is difficult to use the word ‘free’ as a term to describe slave’s political or social independence due to the lack of sources and material from this ancient time period.[9] Much of the research conducted on Egyptian enslavement has focused on the issue of payment to slaves. Masters did not commonly pay their slaves a regular wage for their service or loyalty. The slaves worked so that they could either enter Egypt and hope for a better life, receive compensation of living quarters and food, or be granted admittance to work in the Beyond.[10] Although slaves were not “free” or rightfully independent, slaves in the New Kingdom were able to leave their master if they had a “justifiable grievance”. Historians have read documents about situations where this could be a possibility but it is still uncertain if independence from slavery was attainable

The Old Kingdom built the Pyramids, not the New Kingdom. And under the Old Kingdom, no slave would be given the honor of participating in the building of a tomb for their god-king. They could make bricks and mix mortar and shit, but Artisans and Craftsmen cut the blocks to precision and put them into the proper place so the whole fucking thing wouldn't blow out like earlier pyramids had a tendency to do before they got good at Math.

That is what you are saying. I am talkin about liberty. You seem to be saying its ok for pharoah and his nobles to have weekends off and you brainwash the "slaves" into thinkin they are not slaves by feeding beer and bread with pots of discarded meat. "

"If only we had meat to eat! We were better off in Egypt!" Is not this the word that we told thee in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.”
