DescriptorSlavery exists when a person's individual freedoms are denied and they are forced to labor with no compensation. Slavery has existed throughout the world since before recorded history and even though it is currently outlawed in most countries, slavery remains a popular labor source in many parts of the world. African slaves, the resulting slave trade, and antebellum plantations are typically what most Westerners think of when it comes to slavery. However, it is important to remember that slavery existed in Africa long before the Atlantic Slave Trade. Examples of early African slavery include: Ancient Romans enslaving Carthaginians, African tribes enslaving each other, and Muslims enslaving Africans and selling them across Asia.

DescriptorAncient Egypt was a civilization that flourished in the Nile Region of North Africa between 3,000 B.C. and 31 B.C. Much like the Romans, the Ancient Egyptians developed a complex society that still fascinates us today. Whether it's mummification, pyramids, hieroglyphics, architecture, or medicine, the Ancient Egyptians left behind a legacy that historians and archaeologists will continue to marvel over for centuries to come.
