Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Y history teacher showed us two primary sources. One is an account written by an educated slave under Egyptian rule. The account describes the Egyptians as cruel and merciless. The second account was written by an Egyptian priest. This account describes the Egyptians as peaceful and deeply religious people.
Which of these two sources is the most credible?
Answer:
According to the knowledge we have of ancient Egypt, we could say that the source written by the slave is more credible. However, both sources are relevant.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Egyptians did not provide education to their slaves, however, they enslaved people who lost to the Egyptians in battles, being able to enslave people who had had access to education and could write a diary. Slaves received horrible treatment from Egyptians who were abusive and violent towards them, which makes us see the source written by the slave as more credible.
However, the source written by the priest is also relevant, as it shows how the Egyptian people were religious and peaceful among them. However, as the priest was Egyptian, this source may have a strong bias.
