  33. Daily Life –Family Structure Nuclear Family: The father was responsible for the economic well-being of the family, and the mother supervised the household and cared for the upbringing of the children. Although Egyptian children had toys, . . . much of their time was spent preparing for adulthood. . . . Peasant children accompanied their parents into the fields; the male offspring of craftsmen often served as apprentices to their fathers. Privileged children sometimes received formal education to become scribes or army officers. Life in Ancient Egypt. http://www.carnegiemuseums.org/cmnh/exhibits/egypt/dailylife.htm

  34. Daily Life - Furnishings(Simple in design) The most common piece of furniture was a low stool, used by all Egyptians including the pharaoh. These stools were made from wood, had leather or woven rush seats, and had three or four legs. Life in Ancient Egypt. http://www.carnegiemuseums.org/cmnh/exhibits/egypt/dailylife.htm

  35. Copies of the few simple furnishings in the common Egyptian home Most kitchens were equipped with a cylindrical, baked clay stove for cooking. Food was stored in wheel-made pottery. The basic cooking equipment was a two-handled pottery saucepan. http://www.virtual-egypt.com/gallery/ gallery.cgi?action=view&link=_ Tours/Karnak&image=karnak_01.jpg&img=&tt=img

  38. Cosmetics Cosmetics Bottle Top • Uses: for appearance and for personal hygiene and health • Many cosmetics found in tombs - vital importance against the hot Egyptian sun and dry winds. • Items: Eye paint, both green and black, is probably the most characteristic of the Egyptian cosmetics. • Sources: green pigment, malachite, made from copper; black paint (kohl) made from lead or soot - was usually kept in a small pot with a flat bottom, wide rim, tiny mouth, and a flat, disk-shaped lid. http://www.virtual-egypt.com/gallery/ gallery.cgi?action=view&link=_ Tours/Karnak&image=karnak_01.jpg&img=&tt=img

  39. Games: Senet - a board game from ancient Egypt Board games were very common in ancient Egypt and people from all levels of society played them. Many game boards from ancient Egypt have been found by archaeologists. However, the rules explaining how to play these games have not survived. By studying game boards and other evidence, experts have made some educated guesses about how these games were played.  The British Museum. Egyptian Life. http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/life/home.html

  40. How to play Senet • Throw the sticks to see how many squares to move your piece forward. • If you throw a one, four, or six, you get an extra turn. • You can't land on one of your own pieces. • If you land on the other player's piece, you switch places with them. However, you can't switch with them if they have two or more pieces in a row. • If the other player has three or more pieces in a row, you can't pass them. • Some squares are ‘safe' squares and some are ‘danger' squares. You will learn what they are as you play. • The first player to get all of their pieces off the board wins the game. • The British Museum. Egyptian Life. http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/life/home.html

  43. “The standard Egyptian relief portrait, as it came to be established during the Old Kingdom, required each part of the body to be presented in strict proportion, with its essential aspect to the viewer (shoulders forward, head turned, legs sideways and striding). An icon of Egyptian art, anatomically impossible, it's also a strangely lifelike arrangement” Canon of Proportions

  45. Ancient Egypt en toto was formed during the Early Dynastic period from two basic areas: Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. http://www.virtual-egypt.com/gallery/ gallery.cgi?action=view&link=_ Tours/Karnak&image=karnak_01.jpg&img=&tt=img

  46. “Upper Egypt was the long, narrow strip of ancient Egypt located south of the Delta. This area is composed of four topographic zones: the Nile River, the floodplain, the low desert, and the high desert. Each of these zones was exploited differently by the ancient Egyptians.” • Lower Egypt was west of the delta and Upper Egypt. http://www.virtual-egypt.com/gallery/ gallery.cgi?action=view&link=_ Tours/Karnak&image=karnak_01.jpg&img=&tt=img
