Reply to comment by Zigazig_ahhhh in Slaves were brutally branded in ancient Egypt, research shows by Rear-gunner

>So there's no actual evidence

The actual evidence is that texts say enslaved people were marked. It cites arguments that tattooing in Egypt was religious (so less likely for slaves) and the branding irons appearing to be better fitted for humans. But the primary evidence is the fact that enslaved people were marked.
