What were Egyptian dungeons like?

Primitive, to say the least. A prison sentence however was at the time something you were very rarely convicted to. If as an ancient Egyptian you had committed a crime, you paid for it by physical punishment such as flogging or branding; or by being banished or put to death. Another very common punishment, even in the case of serious crimes, was being convicted to pay a hefty fine to the person(s) - or their surviving relatives - who were the victim of your crime. Prisons were in most cases only used to lock up a person until he was interrogated and convicted to one of the punishments mentioned above.
