Best Answer

The ancient Greeks were thought to have as many, if not more, slaves than free citizens. The Egyptians had slaves as well. Additionally, if you use The Bible for historical reference, slavery is mentioned throughout the Old and New Testament.

Slavery has existed for thousands of years, with records dating back to ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. It persisted through various forms and regions up to the 19th century when abolition movements began to gain traction. However, modern forms of slavery, like human trafficking, still exist today in various parts of the world.
