Best Answer

Many slaves in ancient Egypt performed the role of servants in the house of the wealthy. Remember there were no modern labour saving devices. Every household job had to be done by hand. It was hard work.

Many slaves toiled on the land, digging canals, building monuments, quarrying and worst of all working in the mines. Again this was work done without any mechanical aids. All this work was extremely hard and dangerous, often done in the hot sun. They were at the mercy of tough overseers. Food was pretty basic and they were usually naked.
