The river in the
middle is called
the Nile. The map
is kind of blurry
but if you look
closely you can
see some labels.

3. BACKGROUND
The Ancient Egyptians are known for mostly because of their unique form of
writing called hieroglyphics which is an extremely complex form of writing.
An interesting artifact of their culture is the Rosetta Stone. The Rosetta
Stone was a stone that had hieroglyphics and Greek writing. Jean-Francois
Champollion deciphered the Greek and showed how to read the
Hieroglyphics. They also have very interesting gods. They usually have
animal heads but human bodies. The front cover shows Anubis the god of
funerals and mummification (on the left). On the right is Ra the pharaoh of
the gods and the god of sun. Ra in Hieroglyphics

gods on earth. They were the
kings of Egypt except The vizier was a very

5. HOUSING
The Egyptians used stone blocks
or mud bricks to create their
houses and tombs. People when
they think of Egyptian buildings
they think of pyramids. Only
honoured kings were in pyramids
and they had to be dead to be in
the tomb. Ordinary houses were
made by the workers and were
also made of stones and bricks.
Most of the Egyptian houses
had around four rooms. One
bigger one in the middle and 3
others attaching onto it. They
do not carry more than one
family. People slept in the
central middle room. The other
rooms were the kitchen, an
entry room that goes into the
central room, and a
storage/extra bedroom.

6. FOOD
Egyptians a lot of the time ate
fish that they caught in the
lake. They also ate things that
were around like berries and
things. They had farmers that
made grains and wheat to
make meals like bread and
things like that. This picture
shows some things that they
could eat for meals and
snacks and stuff. They did not
eat the kind of things that we
eat now. They would not eat
fast food and other varieties
of food from other places. Ex
Sushi, Mexican food etc.

7. FAMILY LIFE
Families in ancient Egypt
often had kids. The kids were
usually taken care of the
Family praying to gods. parents but when they were
not they were taken care of by
servants or slaves. Unlike
many places in ancient times,
women had just as many
rights. In now times women
have rights because it is
wrong for them not to, but in
places like Ancient Greek they
could not vote or anything like
that. Sometimes but not all of
the time in Ancient Egypt the
women worked and the men
stayed at home. Many
families that were rich had
many slaves doing things for

8. Divorces in Ancient Egypt are
easy to do except they cost a
lot. Pharaohs marriages were
MARRIAGE very different. The pharaohs
wife is called the Great Royal
Wife. Nobles can be married
to more than one person at a
time. But ordinary marriages
are not really much different
than the marriages now.
Marriage in Ancient Egypt
was very important. It was a
very big deal to the family
except, like the marriages
now, it is only important to
them and their families.
Marriages links to family life
because once they are
married they are a family,
they can have kids etc.

9. CHILDHOOD
In ancient Egypt the people

education unless they
were very rich or powerful.
For entertainment a lot of
children played a board
game called senet.
Children were treated well
and were not hurt or
tortured like most places.
A lot of people in Egypt
that were rich had a lot of
servants and slaves to
look after their children.

10. Childhood in Ancient Egypt
would be very different than

11. EDUCATION
Being educated was a great honour
in Ancient Egypt. Only the rich or
Egypt royal people get a good education.
In Vancouver you would never get a
job if you never went to school.
When you went to school in ancient
Egypt you usually became a noble
or another important person. The
people who did not get an
education could still become an
important person but less likely. If
you were the son of a pharaoh than
you could become the pharaoh
without an education. The schools
looked much different from ours
now though.

12. RELIGION The Ancient Egyptian gods were very
Nephthys
important to their lives. As you see in
the pictures some have the heads of
animals. They had temples that they
worshipped the gods in. They
worshipped the pharaoh just as much
because he was a god on the earth.
Set
Some of the most important gods are
Horus, Isis, Set, Nephthys and Osiris.
They were all good except Set. Horus,
the most important one, was the god of
war, protection and the sky. He had the
head of a falcon. Osiris, almost equally
important, was the lord of the dead.
Isis was the goddess of motherhood
Osiris and magic. Nephthys was the wife of
Horus
Set. Set was the god of chaos and
terror and Nephthys was the goddess
of assistance and partly death because

the god Amun. Not a lot of
people know a god named

14. FESTIVALS
Ancient Egyptians had many
festivals. Most of them were
religious festivals to celebrate
the gods and goddesses but
there are a couple that are
not. The celebrations had
huge feasts too. One had so
much food it was crazy.
11,341 loaves of bread and
385 barrels of beer to
celebrate Rameses III victory
over the Libyans. A religious
festival in Ancient Egypt was
when they celebrated the
Beautiful Feast of the Valley.
They celebrated the links
between the living and dead.

15. WEALTHY LIVING
Rich families in Ancient Egypt
had slaves or servants to
look after their children and
also do the houses chores. It
would like one of us getting a
bunch of maids. Many rich
families can also afford for
their children to go to school.
Like now, the rich people
would usually have more
things and a bigger house.
They might also wear
jewellery like amulets and
earrings. Many people who
were not rich also wore stuff
like that. The rich, to be
different, sometimes wore
things like diamond
necklaces.

16. CLOTHING
People in ancient Women in ancient
Egypt a lot of the time Egypt wore mostly

gods on papyrus.

18. CHILDBIRTH
The man who deciphered
the Rosetta Stone, Jean-
Francois Champollion,
named the place where the
children were born. It was
called “Mammisi” in 19th
century Coptic and “Birth
House” or “Birth Place” in
English. Mammisis’ were
kind of church’s or chapels.
Some were almost like Taweret
small temples. It was a very
religious event too because
they put up pictures of
Taweret to help the child
and Bes to help ward off
spirits.

19. TOMBS (EXTRA)
One of the most well known
artifacts and architecture are the
tombs. When I think of Egypt I
think of the ancient Pyramids of
Giza. Not just any old dead guy
would be put in one of the great
pyramids. Only respected
pharaohs, kings and queens
would be put there. The tombs
had great drawings and had
many crystals and treasures. The
coffins were made out of gold,
diamonds, crystals and other
valuable artifacts. A common
known tomb is the one of
Tutankhamen. (More commonly
known as King Tut).

20. COMPARING GREEK GODS TO EGYPTIAN GODS
Egyptian gods are very
unlike the gods of the
Gods of the Underworld Greek. In Egypt the lord
of the dead is Osiris.
Osiris Osiris is a worshipped
Egyptian god. Unlike Hades he is
caring and makes sure
that even the dead are
happy. His assistant, the
god of funerals, Anubis is
also a more kind god
than Hades in legends.
Hades enjoys the death
Greek of mortals and is always
trying to get released into
Hades the real world. He always
uses trickery to deceive
people into traps.

21. COMPARING GREEK GODS TO EGYPTIAN GODS
CONT.
The god of the Greek
Sun is called Apollo.
Gods of the Sun He was not one of the
super major gods. The
King of the gods in
Egyptian Ra Greece was Zeus. In
Egypt Ra, the Egyptian
Sun God, was the
overall pharaoh of the
Egyptian religion. He
also had multiple
forms and could
Greek Apollo create humans with
his tear drops in his
form of Khnum. Apollo
drove a chariot made
of light and was a
phenomenal shot with
the bow.

22. CONCLUSION
To me the Ancient Egyptian Culture is
very fascinating. The Gods, the Tombs
and the over all topic is very
interesting. The arts and festivals
are extremely cool. 
