First of all, it is difficult to know without accurate information of what was really going on those millennia ago.
In those days, most of the 'slaves' may have been just as happy or happier as a 'slave' with room and board as long as they were treated well. Even if they were not 'slaves', and were working for someone, they may actually have been treated worse by an employer than a master and maybe not even have as good room and board as the slaves. They did not have unions in those days so, IMHO, six of one, half a dozen of the other.
Now days, how much better off is a minimum wage worker than a slave? Is slavery really gone?

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
