"The Amratians possessed slaves, and constructed rowboats of bundled papyrus in which they could sail the Nile.[5]" I have a few problems with this statement:
1. The definition of 'slavery' - chattle slavery or the bondage and serfdom that most people lived under until the end of the Middle Ages? 2. The age of the reference - Homer Smith's Man And His Gods is from 1952. A 68 year old source - certainly people have published on the issue more recently? 3. Man And His Gods is notorious for not having any footnotes.
In other words, Homer Smith doesn't give a reference. 83.84.100.133 (talk) 15:42, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The link to El Amra is a town in northern Algeria. I think El-Amrah might be more correct. --Finn Bjørklid (talk) 19:12, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
