Egyptian Civilization Part 2

Arts

Ancient Egyptian art refers to art produced in ancient Egypt between the 31st century BC and the 4th century AD. It includes paintings, sculptures, drawings on papyrus, faience, jewellery, ivories, architecture, and other art media. Hence, ancient Egyptian art portrayed an idealized, unrealistic view of the world.





Lifestyle

Daily life in ancient Egypt revolved around the Nile and the fertile land along its banks. The yearly flooding of the Nile enriched the soil and brought good harvests and wealth to the land. Most ancient Egyptians worked as field hands, farmers, craftsmen and scribes. A small group of people were nobles.




Food Style



The Egyptian diet was supplemented by fish, fowl and meat, although peasants probably enjoyed meat only on special occasions. Domesticated animals raised for food included pigs, sheep and goats.
