The Nile River produces an abundance of fish, which could be, and was incorporated into many of their dishes. Due to the barren desert geography of much of Egypt, raising livestock was extremely difficult, therefore meats like pork and beef were rare and expensive.
Other than fish, bread and beer were common in Egyptian food and drink diet. The fertile soil along the Nile wheat could easily be grown. Oftentimes they made primitive bread sweetened with honey. Though the materials were available, the preparation of such dishes was quite labor intensive, as wheat required to be ground by hand and dough baked slowly in archaic ovens.
Vegetables also contributed to the majority of the ancient Egyptian diet. Peas, beans, onions, and even garlic were often utilized to create any dish imaginable. Records also show that leeks, lettuce, turnips, and cabbages were also staples in the typical ancient Egyptian diet.
Figs and dates had always been extremely populate and sensible food crops in the arid climate. Grapes were a well liked ancient Egyptian food, both as a fruit, and int he form of wine, for those wealthy enough to afford it.

Buildings were created with columns and at the top of them you can see decorative palm leaves so the columns look like palm trees. Look carefully around you and you will find the influence of ancient Egypt in your own city.

How many sons did Queen Nefertiti have?
Queen Nefertiti and Pharaoh Akhenaten had two sons: the oldest was Smenkhkare, who was born three years before Akhenaten's reign, proving that Akhenaten did not marry Nefertiti as a king but as a prince, and his parents became his co regents and his reign was for 3 years, he married Meritaten later in his father's reign, they had one daughter: Meritaten Tasherit and possibly one son but this has not been proven. Smenkhkare kept the Aten and died young possibly of poor health or from poisoning. If Smenkhkare was a brother or uncle of Akhenaten, he would not have ruled, it would have been Tut, however Smenkhkare was Akhenaten's offical and legal successor thus his oldest son, it is most likely Smenkhkare was Akhenaten's favourite son as Akhenaten never states Tutankhamun is his son, but is only called ".. King's son, his beloved Tutankhamun.." tut never states Akhenaten is his father either, showing that they never acknowledge each other. Smenkhkare is called Akhenaten's beloved, a title for royal children, is called the son of Ra, and his name is shown close to Nefertiti's, showing he is a favourite of the royal couple. Tutankhamun was the last and second son of Nefertiti. It is possible that she was his co regent, however she doesn't seem to want him on the throne, reigning two years before him, perhaps it was just like Akhenaten, who was rejected by Amun and the other gods, his family and friends, Tutankhamun was rejected by his father, brother, mother, sisters except for Ankhesenpaaten and the Aten. Thus, he changed the religion to the old gods, who he felt would not rejected him, he also turned to his grandfather, who was long dead, calling him his father and oddly enough, his grandfather states that Tut is the son of his body as one of Amenhotep III's titles was Nebkheperure. However it is possible that Amenhotep III is instead of Akhenaten, Tutankhamun's father.

How and where can i get a sugar mummy?
There is no "get" when it comes to human beings. And while income disparities exist in couples, to seek that out in a fashion that suggests that you do not wish to work is - let us say - not in keeping with societal norms.
There is a long history of youthful and attractive women seeking what is called a "Sugar Daddy". That being defined as a man with more money then sense in relationships. This choice for women is somewhat excused though, as throughout most of history it was the only way for them to advance.
But you are, in theory, a man. You should be working and growing, so that if anything, one day you at least could be in the Sugar role. As the provider, not the receiver.
Also, be aware, that Sugar Mommies have the same desires as Sugar Daddies. Are you that youthful, good looking and "experienced, without seeming experienced"? Being a "kept woman" is not as easy as it's made out to be, and I doubt that being a "kept man" is any easier.
All that said, your answer, which you came here for, is this: Join some of the dating services, and advertise your status. "Young, attractive male, loves long walks, cats and Danielle Steel books" and under occupation put "artist" or "musician" or "student". Those are all the code words for "unemployed, but clean cut and won't pee on the rug."
