Slave life in ancient Egypt, was contradictory. Many slaves in ancient Egypt performed the role of servants in the house of the wealthy. They were usually fairly treated, adequately clothed and well fed. Remember there were no modern labour saving devices. Every household job had to be done by hand. It was hard graft.
Those who were less fortunate were forced to do humiliating, degrading and often dangerous work such as working on the land, digging canals, building monuments, quarrying and worst of all working in the mines. They were at the mercy of tough overseers. Food was pretty basic and they were usually naked. and they were punished if the job wasn't done well. They would get beaten torched and even cut.

∙ 14y agoDepends on what sort of slave you were. It appears that most slaves were well treated,adequately fed and clothed. In some households long serving and faithful slaves became a part of the family. Then on the other hand you could find yourself toiling in the fields or building the monuments under tough overseers. Food was not so plentiful and there was a good chance you would be naked.
