Slaves were likely not used to build the pyramids in ancient Egypt. Most evidence suggests that the pyramids were constructed by skilled Egyptian laborers, not slaves. These laborers were well-fed, had housing, and were respected members of the community, working in rotating shifts on a seasonal basis.
There is no evidence to suggest that slaves who were mound builders went naked. Slaves in mound-building societies would likely have worn clothing similar to the rest of the population, which would have varied depending on the culture and time period.
It is estimated that around 20,000 to 30,000 workers, not slaves, were employed to build the pyramid of Giza. These workers were likely skilled laborers, farmers, and craftsmen who were paid for their work. The common misconception of slaves being used to build the pyramids is largely inaccurate.
It can be assumed that both slaves and their Roman masters died in a eruption at Pompeii. Although their remains are hard to distinguish from each other and some likely survived as slaves of both Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger.
The construction of the pyramids in Ancient Egypt was mainly carried out by skilled laborers, artisans, and craftsmen who were employed by the pharaoh. These workers were organized in teams and had specific tasks such as quarrying, carving stones, and hauling materials. The workforce also included farmers who worked on the construction during the Nile's flood season when their fields were flooded.

The Sumerians acquired slaves through various means, including warfare, where captured enemies became slaves, and through debt, where individuals sold themselves or their family members into slavery to repay debts. Additionally, some slaves were born into servitude, as the children of enslaved parents. The practice was an integral part of Sumerian society and economy, serving roles in households and large-scale agricultural production.
Sumeraian society was divided into several classes with kings at the top, free people in the middle, and slaves at the bottom.
Many slaves had different kinds of special skills. Some of the skills included masonry, carpentry, dancing, singing, carving and shoe-making among others.
