They did though.

Have you read anything recent about this because you sound like the shit I was told in the 90's

    Ancient Egyptians were able to sell themselves and children into slavery in a form of bonded labor.

    Were they? Got anything to support that? They even use the term slavery for their labor…

    Edit, oh man… bad look…

    Several departments in the Ancient Egyptian government were able to draft workers from the general population to work for the state with a corvée labor system. The laborers were conscripted for projects such as military expeditions, mining and quarrying, and construction projects for the state. These slaves were paid a wage, depending on their skill level and social status for their work

    They even say they pay their slaves.

    Drafted doesn't mean slavery chuckles.

    a person who is forced to work for and obey another and is considered to be their property; an enslaved person.

    How does it not? Being drafted means the government or pharaoh owns you. Do they have any other option as a laborer or slave already?

    Do you not know what the term “Slave” actually means?

    Because you seem to have ignored the “forced” aspect every step of the way here.
