Most Ancient Egyptians would live in small houses made out of mudbrick, with wooden beams holding up the flat mud roof. In hot weather to Ancient Egyptians would sleep on their roof to call down. The whole family lived in one room, the room was dark and there was hardly any room. Ancient Egyptians didn't have much furniture either. There was woven mats made of straw and carpets made of dirt or clay floor. Sometimes there was a small wooden stool, or a wooden bed with string pulled across it. In front of the room there was a courtyard. The courtyard had a high wall around it. In the courtyard people cooked food over clay braziers, ate dinner, spun flax into linen (Used for the clothing) and did many other things. People's chickens and goat's also lived in the courtyard. Egyptians houses didn't have bathrooms, they had to go to the edge of the village if they had to go to the toilet. Sometimes they would use a chamber pot inside their house and emptied it outside. Sometimes they had their house in the corner of the courtyard. When they needed water people sent the children to the village and the children would get buckets of water for cooking, drinking and baths. Sometimes two families would have to live in a tiny house together that is just big enough for one family.
