Even better - look up the word "slave" in a good dictionary. The root is from Slav. According to Websters, "a reduction to slavery of many Slavic peoples of central Europe."

And what about those pyramids? Do my ancestors have a claim or what? Now those ancient Egyptians are gone, but the land, antiquities, Suez Canal and the old river may be worth something. Am I in deNial?
