That is one of the enduring myths about Ancient Egypt that is not actually true! There was no slavery at the time of the pyramids. To put it bluntly, 95% of the population of Egypt worked on the land, and for three months of every year the land was underwater when the Nile flooded. So what do you do to feed and mobilise a work force that is otherwise idle and potentially restive? The answer is that the people were required to give their labour to the state as a form of taxation (in a pre-monetary economy). It was a brilliant way of deploying a huge work force.

The lives of six remarkable female pharaohs, from Hatshepsut to Cleopatra—women who ruled with real authority—are recounted in this enthralling narrative, which illuminates how our own preconceptions about women in power today affect us. Women monarchs are sadly often a one-of-a-kind occurrence, however, thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt, women ruled supreme. Queens, such as Hatshepsut, Nefertiti, and Cleopatra, took control of the totalitarian state as power brokers and rulers on a regular basis. But in every culture throughout history, women in positions of authority have been utilized more often as political pawns in a male-dominated society. The CDO aims to make it easy to look up Coptic words in all dialects and to supply freely accessible translations in English, French and German.
