Daily Life in Ancient Egypt, Daily Life in Ancient Egypt were made possible thanks to the generosity of the Fusco Corporation and to the Marilyn M. and William K. Simpson Endowment. Frank Hole, C. J. MacCurdy Professor of Anthropology at Yale, and Head of the Anthropology Division of the Peabody Museum, is Curator-in-Charge of the exhibit. Ancient Egyptian civilization is one of the oldest in the world. The strategic location of Egypt on the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, and its fertile Nile valley, led to a rich and powerful culture with extensive contacts with neighboring countries throughout the ancient world. The ancient Egyptians had a complex system of religious beliefs centered on polytheism and a belief in an eternal life after death. This fascination with death was the main motivation behind their elaborate burials, which ranged from pyramid complexes to rock hewn tombs. The human form was preserved in a mummified state in order to act as a repository of the soul. Indeed, no civilization, ancient or modern, has been as preoccupied with death as were the ancient Egyptians. Tomb scenes display a wide variety of the mythical creatures they imagined inhabited the underworld.

Extractions: EGYPT has always been a land of wonder and of mystery. We of today look on it with reverence for its age, amazement for its giant statues and stupendous pyramids, awe for its strange civilization and secret priesthoods. And these same emotions toward the ancient land were already in the heart of man in old Phoenician days, before either Persia or Greece had written a name in history, before Abraham walked with angles in the fields of Palestine. Indeed, that sense of mystery must have touched even the earliest. Babylonian traders when, three thousand years or more before the birth of Christ they first penetrated into the valley of the Nile, coming after months of journeying across dreary wildernesses and amid barbaric tribes, to study with their shrewdly watchful eyes a people almost their equals. For in this distant valley they encountered a civilization unlike yet nearly as advanced as that which they themselves had built up in Babylonia. Many ages must have passed while they were discovering and perfecting their wide knowledge. Yet behind them we are beginning to catch glimpses of a different and older people who lived along the Nile before even the Egyptians came there. It may well be that race after race of mankind has grown to power and old age, and has perished in this same silent, secret, mysterious land. Today the Hamitic Egyptians would be almost as forgotten as earlier peoples, had they not erected those remarkable monuments, which time has been unable to destroy.

Cecil County Public Schools Maryland Technology Academy Summer Satellite 2000 - Updated August 2000 Architecture The ancient Egyptians built their pyramids, tombs, temples and palaces out of stone, the most durable of all building materials. Although earthquakes, wars and the forces of nature have taken their toll, the remains of Egypt's monumental architectural achievements are visible across the land, a tribute to the greatness of this civilization. These building projects took a high degree of architectural and engineering skill, and the organization of a large workforce consisting of highly trained craftsmen and laborers. This topic would include exploring some of the famous structures of Ancient Egypt. The designs, technology used, and purposes of these buildings would need to be investigated.

Extractions: Seminar Introduction What was daily life like for the ancient Egyptians? In many ways, people today share similar values and life waysa strong emphasis on the nuclear family, the love for social activities, and an attachment to appearance and fashion. In this seminar Emily Teeter, an Egyptologist at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, and Douglas J. Brewer, professor of anthropology at the University of Illinois, Urbana, investigate the particular values and societal expectations of the ancient Egyptians. While the nuclear family was the core of Egyptian society, marriage and marriage contracts were largely seen as a means of regulating the transfer of property. Compared to other areas of the ancient world, Egyptian women held stronger social positions and expanded legal rights, which included the ability to hold and bequeath property and the right to initiate divorce. Childrenboth male and femaleheld a valued position in the family. Socially, the ancient Egyptians enjoyed many of the pleasures people cherish today: music, song, dance, games, and drink.

Extractions: The upper classes were diminished by low birth rates and had to be augmented by people who, several generations ago, were slaves. Those of the upper classes who survived considered the burden of empire too great they simply could not provide the leadership or the administration necessary for such a great enterprise. Finally, the education system did not teach their upper-class students to wrestle with real-life problems, and completely avoided subjects like philosophy and science which could have given them the enthusiasm and the tools to beneficially modify their society. I sense the beginnings of some of the unfortunate Latin traits which followed the Iberians to South America.

Extractions: Let's Travel to Ancient Egypt Created by Janet Stella-Finn Email jlsis1@excite.com Introduction Task Resources ... Introduction With the creation of time travel it is now possible for us to travel to anytime and place in history! The Back in Time Travel agency has hired you to create a brochure that will explain Ancient Egypt to potential travelers. Time travel requires a four months stay. We are not sure why, but on visits less than four months travelers tend to disappear on the trip home! Because visits are so long travelers must work, attend school, and participate in everyday activities while in Ancient Egypt. This also means you may not travel back in time to do your research but must use the Internet, videos and books, as well as encyclopedias. TOP The Task Your task is to create a tri-fold travel brochure of Ancient Egypt. This brochure must include: Map of Ancient Egypt A Time Line Daily Life in Ancient Egypt You're own personal review of Ancient Egypt. Explore the resources below to gather the information needed for your brochure. You have 2 weeks to complete this assignment. TOP

Extractions: Introduction Task Process Resources ... Conclusion Introduction Have you ever wondered what makes a good civilization? Working in small groups, research the ancient civilizations of India, Mesopotamia, Egypt and China. Then determine what criteria or factors are needed in a culture. Based on what you learn, construct a civilization or culture for the year 3000 that you believe will be the best.

What types of criteria are important for any civilization to be successful? Questions you might consider may come from the areas of geography, education, government, lifestyle, the arts and architecture, technology, employment and the economy, communication, and transportation. From the list below select the questions (criteria) that you believe will best suit your civilization. Where is your civilization located? Consider the geography. Will there be formal education? What type of government will your civilization have?
Extractions: work in small groups to research one aspect of daily life in ancient Egypt, such as food, housing, and religion ; present their findings to the class, using artifacts to illustrate their presentations; and use details from the presentation to write a one-page, mock journal entry from the point of view of an ancient Egyptian. Computer with Internet access Paper, pens, and pencils Ask students to brainstorm images and people that come to mind when they think of Ancient Egypt. Their answers may include the well known: pyramids, the Sphinx, the Nile, mummies, and pharaohs such as Tutankhamun and Ramses the Great. Explain that these reflect the height of the ancient Egyptian civilization, from about 3000 to 1000 B.C., when pharaohs ruled Egypt. Next, find Egypt on a classroom map. Ask students to find the body of water that runs through the country (the Nile). Explain that although most of the country is desert, the area along the Nile is rich and fertile. In ancient times, as well as today, Egyptian civilization was based along this river. People have always depended on it for food, transportation, and agriculture.
