Several of the ancient Egyptian branding-irons — actually made of bronze — were too small for large animals like cattle and were probably used to brand human slaves.

With all the tattooing and implants and piercing their I don’t what’s, I’m surprised self-branding hasn’t caught on as a fashion trend amongst the youth of today.

Okay, I’ll admit that I’m a bit confused here. Egyptians branding their slaves was something that was a fact back when I was in school and learning history of different cultures. When did that information disappear and why is it just now being rediscovered?

Now the government just gives you a social security number to enslave you to the tax system

WOW ,I thought America was the only ones who had slaves. At least that’s what has been pounded into my head for the last 40 years.

Wait a minute here...

We've been told slavery was invented in America in 1619. Is this article suggesting slavery existed in the world long before there was an America? Who knew?

This article corrects the attempts in the past decades to re-write Egyptian history claims that all the workers on the pyramids etc were some kind seasonal collective of pheasants voluntarily helping for the greater good of the country.
