The whole concept of citizens' rights dates back to the days of the Enlightenment that started in France in the 18th century AD in Europe. Ancient Egyptians did not have any legal 'rights' as we understand them today. The 'right' that was most commonly recognized in ancient jurisdiction was the right to - and protection of - property. It was also recognized in jurisdiction that an agreement with another citizen - if you could prove its terms - gave you a right to whatever was agreed on.
