OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ancient Egyptian retainer sacrifice is a type of human sacrifice in which pharaohs and occasionally other high court nobility would have servants killed after the pharaohs' deaths to continue to serve them in the afterlife. In Egypt, retainer sacrifice only existed during the First Dynasty, from about 3100 BC to 2900 BC, slowly dwindling, and eventually dying out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So yes they did sacrifice.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Are you talking about the time of Exodus or when?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I think that is the case, anyway....
