I somewhere read that the average worker in Egypt had 3 days of the whole year, which blurs the light between slavery and normal employment.

- megaman22 9y agoI'd be curious if you could find the source for that, and I mean legitimately curious - I'd be interested to see what kind of evidence that kind of a claim is based on. Egypt at least does have extensive written records, so that could be codified in a statute somewhere. I'm sort of skeptical by default of archaeological claims that assert conclusions wider than what their findings directly show - too often it seems like they've gone in with a preconceived big theory that they are grabbing at straws to find support for.
- singularity2001 9y agoI remember the museum I read it in. If you are really interested then I could go there and talk to the staff but there are probably easier ways.
- hutzlibu 9y agoWell, you could also name that museum, in case other reader live close by and you are not soo much concerned of anonymity.
