In Ancient Egypt women of
royalty had slaves care for
their children. Women of lower status took care of their
own children. Women in Ancient Egypt had many equal
rights as men had. They were aloud to own
their own and,
represent themselves in court cases, and even received the same punishments as men. Young boys learnt a craft from
their fathers while young girls worked at home with their
mothers. Children took care of their elderly parents until
they passed away. Girls were usually chosen a husband by
the age of 12. Most men had only one wife, but kings often
had several.
Food was cooked in clay ovens. Ancient Egyptians had the same
kitchen utensils as we have today. Lower class people had
utensils mad out of clay. Royalty had their utensils often made
out of gold or silver.
Beer and wine were popular drinks to Egyptians. Wine was
usually only on a table of the wealthy. Bread was the main
source of food.
