  4. Family Life For the people of ancient Egypt, family life was a very high priority and was greatly valued. Children were a blessing. For the rich, slaves or servants took care of the children, but if you had a lower income the mothers took care of the children. The Egyptians usually had large families, and the children usually married between the ages of twelve to fifteen.

  5. Society Ancient Egyptian society was basically divided into four classes.

  6. Society (cont.) The upper class included nobles, priests, engineers, doctors, and of course the pharaoh. The middle class included scribes, skilled craftsman, teachers, and soldiers. The peasants, mostly farmers, and servants made up the lower class. The slaves made up the bottom class.

  7. Shelter Ancient Egyptian nobleman houses were made from bricks of adobe (sun dried mud). The house had three basic parts, a reception area, a hall, and private quarters. The commoners lived in townhouses that were two to three stories high. The first story was for business and the second and third were the living space.

  8. Education Those who could afford school sent there sons at about seven years of age. They would study religion, reading, writing, and arithmetic. It is not proven that girls went to school, but some were taught to read and write at home.

  9. Recreation Egyptians spent their spare time doing a variety of things. They held dramatizations in the temple. But the main source of entertainment is the Nile River. The Egyptians go fishing, river boating, swimming, and hunt crocodiles or hippopotamuses. The Egyptians loved music and played instruments such as the lute, harp, and lyre.

  10. Food Egyptian’s food was cooked in clay ovens or open fires. Egypt’s most popular beverage was beer made with barley. The Egyptians produced wine, though normally only found on the tables of the wealthy.

  11. Food (cont.) The Egyptians most staple food was bread. Bread was made by women grounding wheat into flour Then, the flour was pounded (by the men) into fine grains To flavor the bread, the Egyptians often used sesame seeds, honey, fruit, butter, and herbs to the dough

Clothing Usually made from linens ranging from course to fine texture Men used to wear kilts (a short skirt) during the Old and Middle Kingdoms The wealthy men wore pleated kilts, while the older men wore longer kilts Noblewomen usually wore beaded dresses During the New Kingdom, noblemen usually wore a long robe over his kilt The women wore long pleated dresses with a shawl

  13. Clothing (cont.) Kings and queens often wore decorative and ceremonial clothing with feathers and sequins Sandals were worn on special occasions, but other than that, people went barefoot. Most children ran around nude during the summer, but during the winter, they wore wraps and cloaks

  14. Religion It is said that religion guided every aspect of Egyptian life Their religion was based on polytheism- worshiping many gods- with the exception during the reign of Akenaton Had as many as 2000 gods and goddesses Because their religion stressed an afterlife, Egyptians devoted much time and wealth to preparing for survival in the next world They had tales telling how the world began Temples were considered dwelling places for the gods The priests duty was to care for the gods and attend to their needs

  15. Religion (cont.) The Ancient Egyptians believed they could only reach their full potential after death. Each person was thought to have three souls, the "ka," the "ba," and the "akh." A mummification process took place when a person died.

  24. The Great Sphinx and The Great Pyramid

  25. The Great Sphinx It is1.481 feet tall 65 feet tall and 240 feet long It was made 2700s BC It was made of natural limestone outcrop The stele tells the story of a dream the pharaoh Tuthmosis IV had when he was a prince In the 1980's more than 6 years, more than 2,000 limestone blocks were added to the body of the sphinx. This treatment did not work. More of the rocks fell off, along with parts of the original rock. Later, many workers worked for six months to repair it. In 1988, the left shoulder crumbled and blocks fell off. Now, they are concentrating on draining away subsoil seepage which is damaging the rock. They are also repairing the damaged shoulder with smaller blocks and staying with the original size.

  26. The pyramid of Khufu • King Khufu built the great pyramid sometime around 2560 BC. He was the second pharaoh of the fourth dynasty of rulers in Egypt. It took about 20 years to build the pyramid of Khufu. On completion, it measured 146 m. Over the years, it lost 10 m (30 ft) off its top. It was one of the tallest structures of the world till Eiffel Tower was built in 1889.
