Ancient egypt presentation

1. By Tate Fleming

2. This map is based around 400 ad.
and shows all of the cities of
ancient Egypt.

3. Egypt is known for their
astonishing pyramids. Some of
the man made pyramids are as
big as 450 feet. There are 138
pyramids discovered in Egypt
as of 2008.

4. Social structure
Ancient Egypt was ruled by a
very small rich upper class
who enjoyed power and
wealth while the large masses
of Egyptian workers and
peasants struggled to subsist.

5. Houses
Houses in Ancient Egypt were made out of mud bricks. The average Egyptian
home had four rooms—a central room with smaller rooms joined to it. The
central room was usually higher than the other rooms so that small openings
for air could be placed high in the wall.

6. Food
Because Egypt was very dry, and relied mostly on the Nile
river to water the crops, the Egyptians could only grow
certain kinds of food. Mainly they grew wheat and barley.
The Egyptians made the wheat into bread and into soup
and porridge,

7. Family life
Women attend markets and are employed in trade, while men
stay at home and do the weaving! Men in Egypt carry loads on
their head, women on their shoulder. Women pass water
standing up, men sitting down

8. Marriage
The family was broken down into roles that each would
play in order for things to run smoothly. The father was
the one who would work all day. In smaller households
the mother was in charge of all things pertaining to the
house. Cooking, cleaning and watching the children were
all her responsibilities

9. childhood
Ancient Egyptians owned dolls with real hair knotted into the heads.
They played ball and stick games, they ran around naked until
puberty and imitated their mothers and fathers at their work at home
or in the field.

10. Education
Children in Ancient Egypt stayed with their mothers until the age of four. During these
years, a strong respect for their mothers was instilled in the children. At the age of
four, education of the boys was taken over by their fathers. Some children at this
time attended a general village school while others attended a school designed for a
specific career such as a priest or a scribe. Schools taught writing, reading, math,
and sports as well as morals and manors

11. Religion
Religion is very important to the ancient Egyptians. The
pharaoh was associated with Horus, son of Re the
sun god. Later it was believed that at death he
became Osiris, or an Osiris, and would help the
Egyptians in their afterlife.

12. clothing
The Egyptian climate with its hot summers and mild winters
favoured light clothing made from plant fibres. Animal skins
were sometimes worn by priests and by pharaohs in their role
as first servants of the god.

13. The Arts
The Egyptians made statues, reliefs, paintings, pottery, jewelry,
sculptures and coffins. They made art for gods, kings and
queens, and for the dead in their tombs. Music found its way
into many contexts in Egypt: temples, palaces, workshops,
farms, battlefields and the tomb. Music was an integral part of
religious worship in ancient Egypt.

14. Conclusion
Ancient Egypt is an extraordinary place with many
amazing sights. The pyramids are by far one of the
greatest mysteries of the world. The Great Pyramid
of Giza is one of the 7 wonders of the world. It is
unbelievable that humans could have made such a
remarkable structure. Thank you for listening to my
presentation.
