The most unfortunate slaves were those who were sent to work in the gold mines. Naked slaves worked for long hours in fearsome heat deep underground hacking out the rock which contained the veins of gold.
Yes that was the whole idea of having slaves to provide free labour.
As they worked they sang "The message" from 1996 Nasclassic it was written
Ancient Egyptian slaves have to do many chores in the houses of wealthy families. Slaves do chores including, cooking, serving food, washing clothes, entertaining the family as dancers, acrobats and musicians. Other household slaves were employed as gardeners and grooms to look after the horses. Other less fortunate slaves worked on the land, dug canals and helped to build the temples. The least fortunate were sent to work in the gold mines.
I should imagine slaves were up at the crack of dawn as were most people in ancient times. There was no electricity so as much work as possible had to be done in daylight.
If you are talking about the famous Egyptian slaves, it has been proved that they were not slaves but free people. If, however, you are talking of 1600s onwards, people were too lazy to do the work themselves, because life was hard in those days and work was also hard. These people took people as slaves to do the work for them. Solve your question?
they were at the mercy of their owners but they may marry a free-born person.
I once heard that they didn't and then I watched a movie and it said they did so I am not sure!
because he wanted them to his work and he will get those slaves something back. No! He saved over at least 100 or more slaves!
yes..There was a lot of unskilled hard back-breaking work such as quarrying, dragging the stones up the ramp and putting them in place which was done by slaves.
Egytian slaves were almost women. And the owner of the Egytian slave was really strict to them. They didn't usually give them food and their money. So the slaves have hard times if they are slaves. Also some slaves even get beatened up by their owner if they don't work properly. * I wish this can answer your question ^^
Slaves and farmers who asked landowners for land to work would be the least benefit since they would get, usually, indebted to that person.
they were both treated harshly, the difference was; the owners of black slaves in the us made babies with slave women to increase the amount of slaves needed to work on the other hand the egyptians were afraid of the growth of their slave population, they were afraid they would join their enemies and fight against them so they tried to work them to death and also killed some of them.
