Wasn't ancient Egypt involved with slavery?
Do people think before making films anymore?
shareYes and it wasn't just black people, Jews and other raced were also enslaved in ancient Egypt.
Hollywood is plain stupid with historical facts when it comes to social politics. Julius Caesar would have added her to his hard working slaves collection if she was black 🤣.
I mean if cleopatra was black that would mean black people used slavery. Which is false because only white people enslaved others.
shareNot really that's another misconception about the history of slavery. Yes in modern times Europeans enslaved many Africans and shipped them back to their continents and that's what's the 20th century generation was taught in school while ignoring that slavery was something of normal act the deeper they go into history it's still a great wrong in any time, but that was how the world worked a few hundred years ago.
If we explore world history (Spanish/English/Arab/Indian/Chinese) you'll find out that slavery was more general and it was more about the social living standards of past times. The poor in most cases ended being servants/slaves while the rulers, the strong and rich had the authoritative power and the right to OWN slaves.
In some period in history there was definitely Africans who enslaved other Africans.
A census of New Orleans in 1850 showed that there were 1,142 BLACK slave-owners there at the time.
sharethis is so true and the US was built on the backs of enslaved african americans

Jews were never enslaved in Ancient Egypt.
War captives, criminals and debtors were Egyptian slaves.
Slavery wasn't based on race like it was in the Atlantic Slave trade.
The 25th Dynasty was black and made up of Nubians. The Egyptians were a black and Asiatic people who had intermarried. They didn't have your racist hang-ups.
