Ancient Egyptians were very religious people they considered the Pharaoh is a god or descending from gods ,in all the cases he is the living image of god Horus on earth ,so this explain the obedient relationship between the ancient Egyptian people and their Pharaoh whom they used to give him the title of Lord and represented as a shepherd holding the hook & the flail referring to the phrase says " Lord is my shepherd "-later used in the bible .
May such relationship explain the great perfect temples built in the name of the lord ,they were slaves for their religious believe ,not for a taken away freedom ,we can say they sold their freedom for the deity to gain the resurrection in the paradise in afterlife .
Such religious slavery reflected the great civilization still consider a mystery in architect ,engineering ,paints .medication & perfection .
During the reign of Ra-masses III ,The workers of "Deir Elmadina" (the workers village ) protested against the lord Ra-masses 3 ,for not been paid for 2 months ,the protests was very civilized as they protested peacefully demanding for their delayed payments .and the lord quickly responded .
This indicate that the first protest in the history recorded from Egypt .
