So I've been reading up on the bronze age, and Conan.

And.... wow. There are a lot of slaves.

Lots of slavery. But why? Is it because of the lack of machines, meaning everything is done via muscle power, meaning that humans are valuable?

Is the lack of tech means that you have to substitute humans, instead of machines, like using slaves to get water instead of having water pumped to your house?

Is it possible for a state, culture, or civilization to dislike slavery? And not practice it?
