Ancient Egypt

Wool was used to make portrait masks.

Early human beings practiced animism, the belief that everything, even trees or mountains or rivers, has a spirit and should be respected; they also practiced polytheism, a belief that there were many gods and goddesses controlling the world; some of these deities were loving and kind, while others were angry or judgmental. As with Greek gods and goddesses, ancient Egyptians hoped that the various deities would keep them safe, especially if they treated the god or goddess the right way, offering special chants or prayers, or performing certain rituals to express devotion. In Egypt, not only were there gods like Ra (the sun god) or Hathor (goddess of love); each family had a special deity, and it was believed this family god protected the members of that family.

It helped because it worked as a trade route, provided H20 and food for the egyptians, it gave them soil, etc...

The dynastic period started with the reign of Egypt's first king, Narmer, in approximately 3100 BCE, and ended with the death of Cleopatra VII in 30 BCE. During this long period there were times of strong centralized rule, and periods of much weaker, divided rule, but basically Egypt remained one, independent land.

There were many pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, from Menes and Narmer, to Tutankhamun, Hatshepsut, Ramses ii, Tuthmosis iii, Akhenaten, to Greeks such as Ptolemy and the Cleopatras.

Grace is after all a Christian religious concept. I believe you are thinking of the Ankh a sort of Cross with a voided ellipse. some feel this is a feminine symbol based on a stylized Vagina with cruciform device added. I have seen Ankhs tatooed on Ladies legs where any religious symbol would be , to put it mildly OUT OF PHASE IF NOT TOTALLY OFF-BASE. show some respect. My Guess is you mean the Ankh, pronounced as it is spelled. Rhymes with (Honk!)

In Ancient Egypt, children would largely stay under the care and instruction of their mothers until they turned four. After this, the fathers took over the education for their sons, who usually learned the same trade as their father. Some kids could also attend a general school for their village or enter specialized schools for becoming a priest or scribe. Schools would have taught reading, sports, math, writing, manners, and morals.

Since your flesh, or skin, is no longer supported by your body, it begins to deteriorate. Bacteria help speed up the deteriorating process, and your skin begins to disappear off of your body. It then decomposes, and other bacteria help the decomposition process. If a body is buried in the ground, without a casket, bugs and other creatures begin to eat the flesh, until all the skin that was on the body is gone.

Possibly in an unexplored chamber in the Great Pyramid, entry to which has so far been refused by the Egyptian government.

Well, they were in the Middle of the Desert depending on where in the empire you're talking about. But certain coastal cites could've sent messengers abroad ships. And they did have camel riders but those were ineffective if there was a sandstorm. So most likely by ship

he main mode of transport for the Ancient Egyptians were boats on the River Nile. These ranged from small canoes to large barges for carrying heavy freight. As wood was scarce and expensive these were usually made from reeds which grew along the banks of the Nile. Only sea-going ships and galleys owned by the nobles or the Pharaoh were made from imported timber. The Egyptians were lucky because the prevailing wind and the current went in oposite directions. You could drift down river with the current and sail back up the river against the current.

On land peasants used donkies as pack animals. Horses were used to draw chariots they were not ridden and too valuable for pulling carts. Heavy loads such as large stones and statues were placed on sledges dragged by gangs of slaves.

Many slaves in ancient Egypt worked as servants in the houses of the wealthy. They were usually fairly treated, adequately clothed and fed. Remember there were no modern labour saving devices and household jobs had to be done by hand. It was hard graft.

Some slaves were hired as mercenaries in the army.

Many were less fortunate, forced to do humiliating, degrading and often dangerous work such as working on the land, digging canals, building monuments and temples, quarrying and worst of all working in the mines. They were at the mercy of tough overseers. Food was pretty basic. They were usually naked and punished if they didn't work hard enough.

Yes, it is. The Great Sphinx in Giza, Egypt, is the oldest monumental structure known to man.

The Ancient Egyptians believed in a Pantheion of Gods just like the Ancient Greeks or Romans. It is believed that all these belief systems are linked. They believed in Osiris, the first king of Egypt, ruling the rest of the Gods, including his evil brother, Seth, and many Gods with animal heads. They believed that people went to an underworld when they died, and had to keep themselves clean for it. They also held other beliefs, like that the body consisted of 40 channels, and the channels could get blocked by rotten food etc. and they would fall ill as a result. These are just some of the beliefs held by the ancient Egyptians.

They were in charge of small farms.

The Egyptian gods were replaced with Christian belief throughout the 100s and there was surprisingly little resistance to Christianity in Egypt. By 200 C.E. most Egyptians were Christians. Of course, towards the end of the first millennium, most Egyptians had converted again from Christianity to Islam, due to pressures under the Islamic Caliphates.

The city of Alexandria in Ancient Egypt was known for having the world's largest library and lighthouse.

Tutankhamen or King Tut and Tuthmosis III were both famous Egyptian Pharaohs. King Tut died at a young age and is now famous for his tomb. King Tut became a pharaoh a few centuries before Tuthmosis III.
