Did they as well practice human sacrifice? Probably. I think the Egyptians were one of the very few settled civilizations who never did.

Hah! Nonsense.
First of all, most cultures, like the sumerians, never directly sacrificed humans.
Secondly, indirectly the egyptians DID sacrifice humans... they believed their Pharao was a living god and required people to die for him unquestioned. I think more then a few people, accused of disobediance etc, where throat-cut by a guard yelling "for the pharao" or something silly like that.

"I think the Egyptians were one of the very few settled civilizations who never did."

Do a search on the 'Bog Mummies'. The sacrifices there are well preserved.

*sigh* yes they did.

You equate the death penalty with human sacrifice.

Ok, we're done here.
