Were the Hebrew slaves illiterate?
“Were the Hebrew slaves illiterate?”
Yes, they spoke from right to left.
I don’t believe they were slaves — it took 20 years to build the grand pyramid of Khufu and this suggests that it was more during the Niles flooding season when farmers had free time, when they were involved in this national building. The population of ancient Egypt c. 2200 BC wouldn’t have had enough to sustain a large population of slaves. Also, these weren’t Hebrew or Semitic — they would come later during the time of the Hyksos
Probably the majority were.
Probably, but the Great Pyramid was more than 1000 years old at the time of Moses.
Machu Picchu was built by illiterate workers too, and I'd guess that most of the Chinese laborers who worked to build the Great Wall were illiterate.
