Best Answer

There were no such things as "rights" in ancient Egypt. The concept of "rights" did not come into existence until the Modern Era, specifically during the Enlightenment (1600s-1700s CE).

Ancient Egypt operated under the principle of "privileges" where a person's a civic abilities and responsibilities were determined by the Pharaoh. Naturally, individuals closely related to the Pharaoh and other nobles had more privileges than other people. Scribes had more privileges than commoners and commoners had more privileges than slaves. Women also always had fewer privileges than men of the same rank.
