Sadly, Ancient Egypt did have slaves and some theorize that the pyramids were built by slaves, although this has been disputed. Pharaohs ruled as living gods on Earth, which will be mentioned in class. Pharaohs often married siblings and other family members. Pharaohs sometimes even killed their own family.
