THE NILE
SITUATED IN THE NORTH EAST OF AFRICA, THE NILE IS THE BLOOD, LIFE AND BACKBONE OF EGYPTIAN EXISTENCE AND CULTURE, FOR WITHOUT IT, EGYPT WOULD JUST BE A WASTE LESS CONTINUATION OF THE SAHARA DESERT. IN THIS ESSAY, I WILL EXPLAIN THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL FACTORS AS WELL AS SOME OF THEIR INFLUENCES UPON THE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS. MY REFERENCES COME FROM A WIDE RANGE OF DIFFERENT BOOKS AND INTERNET WEBSITES.

- TRADE
- ANCIENT EGYPTIANS WERE ONE OF THE BEST TRADERS ON EARTH OF THEIR TIME, IT WAS WHERE EVERYONE CAME TO TRADE THEIR GOODS AND VALUABLES. THE EGYPTIANS WOULD SAIL ALONG THE NILE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO TRADE WITH AND SOMETIMES WOULD EVEN TRAVEL ACROSS THE DESERTS TO TRADE. EGYPTIANS WOULD TRADE THINGS SUCH AS GOLD, PAPYRUS, LINEN AND GRAIN AND OCCASIONALLY, THEY EVEN TRADED DECORATIVE ARTIFACTS.
TRAVEL
THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS DID NOT TRAVEL MUCH. THEY TRAVELLED USING SEA BOATS. ON WATER THEY USED BOATS. THE BOATS WERE A BIG PART OF BOTH TRAVEL AND TRADE IN ANCIENT EGYPT BECAUSE OF THE NILE RIVER. ON LAND THEY TRAVELLED USING: CHARIOTS, SLEDGES, AND ON ANIMALS (BEASTS OF BURDEN).

economy
The economy of pharaonic Egypt has been called an ancient command economy, but one should always remember that such modern definitions are not as apart as one would hope for.Still, there was a specialized bureaucracy which monitored or controlled much of its activity, one of the hallmarks of planned economies.

- SOCIETY
THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN PEOPLE WERE GROUPED IN A HIERARCHICAL SYSTEM WITH THE PHARAOH AT THE TOP AND FARMERS AND SLAVES AT THE BOTTOM. THE GROUPS OF PEOPLE NEAREST THE TOP OF SOCIETY WERE THE RICHEST AND MOST POWERFUL.
THE DIAGRAM ABOVE SHOWS THE STRUCTURE OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN SOCIETY.
HOMES
THE EGYPTIANS LIVED IN HOUSES MADE OF BRICKS. THE BRICKS WERE MADE OF MUD AND CHOPPED STRAW. THEY MIXED THE MUD AND STRAW AND THEN POURED THE MIXTURE INTO MOLDS. THE MOLDS WERE PLACED IN THE SUN TO BAKE INTO HARD BRICKS.

- family life
- The people of ancient Egypt highly valued family life. They treasured children and regarded them as a great blessing. In the lower class families, the mother raised the children. The wealthy and nobility, had slaves and servants that helped take care of the children by attending to their daily needs. If a couple had no children, they would pray to the gods and goddesses for help. They would also place letters at the tombs of dead relatives asking them to use their influence with the gods. Magic was also used as an attempt to have children. In event that a couple still could not conceive a child, adoption was also an option.
cuisines The variety of Egyptian recipes is endless. They go back a very long way. As a result of subsequent colonization, foreign influence is somewhat present, specially from the Turkish cuisine (it is understandable after more than 300 years of Turkish presence in Egypt). The "Pashas" living in cario mainly employed the natives as help and cooks. Their kitchen doors opened to us with their culinary secrets and, hence, Turkish food became part of ours.
Jobs
In Ancient Egypt, there were many jobs for the people to do. There were bakers, scribes, priests, noblemen, soldiers, farmers, and many others. I am going to tell you about three different types of jobs in Ancient Egypt.

afterlife The ancient Egyptians believed in an afterlife. The afterlife was a heavenly place, complete with a heavenly Nile River. The ancient Egyptians called this heavenly place the land of the Two Fields.
In the beginning, only pharaohs could board Ra's magical boat and travel to the land of the Two Fields, to dwell forever in the afterlife.

Mummification The earliest ancient Egyptians buried their dead in small pits in the desert. heat and dryness of the sand-dehydrated the bodies quickly, creating lifelike and natural 'mummies'.
hieroglyphs Egyptian hieroglyphs were a formal writting system used by the ancient egyptians that combined holographic and alphabetic elements. Egyptians used curves hieroglyphs for religion literature on papyrus and wood. Less formal variations of the script, called hieratic and demotic, are technically not hieroglyphs.
pyramids The ancient Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for the Pharaohs and their queens. The pharaohs were buried in pyramids of many different shapes and sizes from before the beginning of the old kingdom to the end of the middle kingdom.
