Did ancient Egyptians eat bread

Answer 1

Bread was one of the main food items for all classes in ancient Egypt; it was produced in a wide range of qualities and in a range of different shapes - many of these had their own name. Specific kinds of bread were made for ritual offerings to statues of the gods.

So it is no surprise to find the following terms for what we simply call bread:

Hrf

aAdt

nsty

mswq

As

AH

Da

HTa

Hsb

t imy tA

t nbs

t

t n tp r ("bread for the mouth" of a god)

All of these words and phrases are missing their vowels, which Egyptian scripts do not record, so we can not know how they were pronounced. What is written a or A above is a catch in the throat, not our letter a. The general term for bread was t, which may possibly have been pronounced ta.

Answer 2

well, due to the tense of your question; firstly you'd have to start some sort of galactic war, then you'd need to persuade the doctor to let you borrow his Tardis, then you'd have to go to an Egyptian baker.

Answer 3
