Analysis Of The Material World Of Ancient Egypt, By William H. Peck

Ancient Egypt was a captivating and intricate civilization. Over the years, historians have found it easier to study this civilization, rather than other historical civilizations, because the Egyptians went through great lengths to record their history. Besides being decent record keepers, they were very religious, and “ahead of their time,” due to their technological and economic breakthroughs. Because of the aspects of this culture, it has to be one of the greatest civilizations of the world.

The thriving civilization of Egypt emerged directly because of how the Egyptians handled economic, social and geographical influences.

Ancient Egypt is one of the most fascinating civilizations that has existed on our Planet. Today, we have a lot of information about their ways of life, thanks to the abundance of archeological discoveries and traces that have been left behind. When we first hear about ancient Egypt, there is no doubt that the very first things we come to associate it with is pyramids and pharaohs. These are the most iconic symbols of this ancient civilization, but they also serve to teach us a lot about their culture.

The Nile River reached far lending a hand in creating a well-known civilization that consisted of building pyramids and producing crops for their pharaoh. Evolving from hunters and gatherers into agriculturalists throughout history, Egypt has claimed to be one of the earliest and most spectacular civilizations of ancient times.

Even though most of the Egyptian art was found in tombs and, as mentioned before, had a solid connection with the afterlife, some of the artwork from Ancient Egypt also illustrated how family life was structured.

Doubtless, the heart was considered the key to the resurrection and eternal life in Ancient Egypt as it was the source of thinking and feelings. It was equal with its owner and that is the reason of leaving it inside the body after death. Moreover, heart was used as an amulet to provide the deceased with protection and to act instead of the original element in the hereafter because since the First Intermediate Period amulets taking the forms of human beings ' elements started to be used.
