Ancient Egypt started at around
5500 B.C. There were still trees
and lots of life. Animals such as
Ugulates lived there. At this time,
Ancient Egyptians still lived in
tribes and they would start building
towns and cities later on. At about
this time, animals started getting
domesticated by hunters. These
people were still hunters gatherers
but with an exception of a few
tribes. At this time, it was easier to
stay alive because it wasn’t as hot
and if you didn’t live close to the
Nile, you will still have water
although it wasn’t fresh water
unless it rained.

Ancient Egypt was famous for Pharaohs and their great tombs; the
pyramids. They were also very famous for the dances, drawing, and the
paintings they made. The most known pyramid is the Pyramid of Giza.
Other very famous landmarks of Ancient Egypt are The Sphinx and
Cairo. One of the most famous Pharaohs is King Tut (Tutankhamen).He
was famous because he died at a very young age and his tomb was one of
the richest and biggest tombs ever found. It was large and majestic and it
was very beautiful. Egypt is very famous for the myths and tales it holds.
The main part of Ancient Egypt’s culture was the Nile river. Everything
about the culture was based around the Nile. If the Nile wasn’t there,
there might have never been a Ancient Egypt.

In Ancient Egypt, most things were depended on what
you power you had. If you were the pharaoh, and you
Killed someone, you could say the gods told you to do
that because the people of Egypt thought the pharaoh was a living god. On the
other hand, if you were a slave and you killed someone, you would probably be
killed. This is the pyramid of power. At the bottom are the soldiers, farmers, and
tomb builders. Then comes the craftsmen. After that comes the scribes. Then you
have engineers, doctors, and priests. After that, you get nobles, and high priests.
The second last is the Vizier. Then the living god himself, the Pharaoh.
Sometimes, you are placed by how wealthy you are or if you have an excellent skill
at something. As strict as Egyptians were, they were never as strict as
mesopotamians.

Most Ancient Egypt homes used to be made out of mud bricks because Egypt has
lots of that and not too much wood. Most houses had around 4 rooms. The
average Ancient Egyptian home only had one brick of thickness of there walls.
Most Egyptian homes had a Central room which would be the room they spent
most time in and also slept in that room. The other rooms were used for a
kitchen, a storage room ,and an extra bed room. Also Most families the poor
and the average would dig holes to use for toilets because they couldn’t afford
Washrooms or toilets .Most homes did not contain furniture. Stools were the
one of the only furniture Ancient Egypt people had.

Most of the wealthy people had houses made with extra mud bricks or stone for
more security and protection for there house. Also the wealthier people could
afford a toilet and washrooms unlike the poor and also had doors and windows to
keep bugs out. Also the wealthy could afford some furniture like stools and had
walls with designs or leather paintings. Wealthier people wore longer kilts than
poorer people.(kilts are skirts). Kids of wealthy families could also go to school or
their parents could teach them all of what they know.

Some of the most common foods in Ancient Egypt were beer, dried fish, onions,
vegetables and bread. Fish was a really common food in Ancient Egypt because
there were tons in the Nile river. Also the Nile river allowed the soil to be fertile so
that allowed the Ancient Egyptians to grow wheat. Vegetables were also eaten a lot
in Ancient Egypt. The most common vegetables were lettuce, garlic, beans, and
pees. Since Ancient Egypt weather is desert it was very hard to find pork, beef,
Chicken, and turkey. The wealthier people could afford wine, grapes and more
expensive foods while the poorer Ancient Egyptians had to eat what they could
grow in there garden like vegetables or cheaper foods.

Family life was different in Ancient Egypt depending on what kind of family you
come from. If you came from a wealthy family, then you would have slaves that
help you do daily thongs like grocery shopping, or cooking. Slaves would also take
children to schools and help them with anything they need. If you were poor, then
you would teach your own children and work hard everyday to keep your family
fed. Some wealthy families even sent girls to school. Some of theses girls became
priestesses or doctors. Most parents from poor families
were farmers or people who sell things at markets. The
men of the family always inherit whatever the parents
leave when they die. If there are no males, then the
oldest female gets it. Ancient Egyptians also get
married at a very young age.

In Ancient Egypt marriages usually happened at a very young age. The brides would
get married at age from 12 to 15 and the men would get married at ages from 15 to
20. The children's parents always arranged the marriages but kids got to choose
who they wanted to marry. An ordinary man would get married to one women but
the kings usually had many wives. When people were getting married there
wouldn`t be a huge ceremony unless the kings were getting married. Divorce was
not too common in Ancient Egypt. If the man was treating his wife bad the wife
would go to her family for help and her family would come to tell the husband to
treat her better and if the husband kept being mean they would be able to divorce.
To divorce you just have to say you are getting divorced in front of witnesses and
after the divorce the women would still have a right to remarry someone.

Women were tested to see if they were ale to have children. They did all sorts of
experiments to see if you were fertile and you would have a baby. They did tests
like examining blood vessels on the breasts and also they examined urine. They
also did other methods that were way more complicated. If you were to give birth,
it you would have to put good spells on your child and
have lot’s of charms to keep your child safe. This is
because 1 of 3 children born die at birth and/or during
infancy. Boys were more celebrated when born but
girls were also celebrated. Women usually gave birth
while squatting on stools. Children were mostly named
when they are born they are named the first the mother
says after they are born. Even after infancy, children still
wore the eye of Horus to protect them form dangers.

Childhood in Ancient Egypt was very different compared to what we have. The
toys were completely different and these children loved to play. They were
expected to mature early but they still loved to play games. These children had
many toys to play with. They had toys like movable wood figures, board games,
and much more. They all liked to play together and they didn’t get to play for too
long, because girls are supposed to be married when they are 12 and boys a bit
older. Children in Egypt are to be breast fed until
they are three or until their mothers run out of
Breast milk in which they might use animal milk.
In Ancient Egypt, everything was about playing if
you were a child.

In Ancient Egypt style didn't change much over the years the clothes were made out
of linens and fine texture and try to make it for comfort for hot and cold climate.
Men usually wore little skirts which were called kilts and women usually were a dress
held by strap. When men were working hard or doing exercise they were a loin cloth
and women wore a short skirt. Kids would go nude to places during the summer
because of the desert temperature and in the winter they would wear cloaks or
something warm. Usually people didn't were shoes and walked around in barefoot
except for special occasions. Queens would wear clothing or dresses with feathers
and kings would were robes.

Canadian and Ancient Egyptians childhood is very different in many ways. In
Ancient Egypt children would get married at a very young age and kids were
supposed to mature at a very young age of around 4 years old. Also in
Ancient Egypt, boys usually followed what their parents did and try to follow
what they did. In Canada when your four you are still like a baby, whine and
get whatever you want. Also in Canada kids go to school, in Ancient Egypt
boys usually learn from their parents and some girls go to school.

In Ancient Egypt kids were expected to be mature at a very young age and begin
To act like adults. Children would either go to a little school in their village or their
Parents would teach them. Parents would usually teach their kids how to be like
them and would show them most of the knowledge they know and teach them about
religion and gods. Wealthier people could afford to go to school and if they wanted
To be something for example a doctor they would get information from a doctor and
They would learn from them of what to do to be a doctor.

Ancient Egyptians were very strong believers. They had a lot of gods-just like the
Greeks. A few gods that most people know are Ra, Horus, Osiris, and Isis. Unlike
Greeks, they didn’t make up gods for things they did not understand. They made
gods to help them and have something to believe in. Actually, the Ancient
Egyptians, did make up a few gods to help explain things
such as Ra. Anubis was a very big part of religion because
people wanted a good afterlife. Egyptians sacrificed things
lamb and sometimes even humans to please the god. The
Egyptians also believed that if they sacrifice to Tawaret or
Tauer, they could have a child. Everything in Ancient Egypt
is based on religion and the Nile itself.

Anubis is the god of funerals and afterlife and things like that. He was greatly
worshipped in Ancient Egypt because of all the people who wanted a great
afterlife in paradise. Some prayed and sacrificed to him so he would make their
shabti (clay models of humans) do work for them so they could enjoy themselves
for the rest of eternity. Anubis is the hound headed son of Nepthys and Set.
Anubis is one of the youngest gods
and he is one of the most thought of
gods in Ancient Egypt. He also is the
He also is the balancer of the heart
feather of truth. In courts, there are
statues of him. Sometimes it a
hound instead.

Pyramids were one of the most amazing arts they ever made. The Egyptians also
Made amazing sculptures like the sphinx. Literature was also part of Ancient Egypt
art. Usually stories were written about gods. Paintings was also a big part of Egyptian
art. Usually many paintings were made about pharaohs, tombs, temples, palaces
and more. Ancient Egyptians liked percussion instruments and also played the trumpet.
ancient Egyptians played folk music and played rhythms. Ancient Egyptians also liked
to make bases. Bases were sometimes deposited to tombs of the dead to represent
some of the persons body parts like the heart, lungs, liver and other small body parts.

This is the sculpture of the sphinx which
was one of the most famous sculptures
made by the Ancient Egyptians. Like the
sphinx many more similar sculptures like
this were made.

People celebrated when the Nile flooded by
having feasts with the food they get from the
flood. The people sacrifice a lot of things to get
this flood. Sometimes, they even do human
sacrifices because they want the flood so badly.
The people of Egypt thought that each time
the Nile flooded, Isis(goddess of magic) shed
a tear from sadness. They would after sacrifice
lot’s of food and other things to her because they were so happy their crops were
growing. They would have a massive party with people singing and dancing. They
were now richer than before and they are too drunk with happiness because they
were wealthy-for a while, before the dry season comes again.

Overall, Ancient Egypt was a historic landmark that will always be remembered
For the art such as the amazing pyramids they made for the pharaohs tomb and
Some of there amazing sculptures like the sphinx. Ancient Egypt was very unique
From other civilizations which makes them be remembered forever.
