Ancient Egypt: Similar To Modern Day People

Egyptians found great pleasure in playing games. 4300 years ago, or so they created one of the oldest board games known. The game involved racing ivory or stone pieces across a papyrus playing board. By 3065 B.C., Egyptian children played marbles with semi-precious

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.

The Egyptian culture has long been considered quite optimistic. It should be argued that of all ancient civilisations and cultures, the ancient Egyptian culture, is by far the most optimistic; in terms of everyday outlook on life, religion and death. The ancient Egyptian culture when compared to its nearby neighbours in the Levant and Mesopotamia is indeed optimistic. An examination of the environment of ancient Egypt affected daily life as this would in turn influence the culture, and whether or not this played a role in making ancient Egyptian life and culture more optimistic. It is also essential that the ancient Egyptian myths and religion be explored to determine whether or not it contained the same optimistic outlook as the culture

The ancient Egyptians participated in religious rituals and traditions so that their gods and goddesses would help to give them happy lives with a lot of food. Priests and priestesses were assigned to the temples to help in watching over the contributions and helping the people pay tribute to the gods. Many of the ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses were thought to look like humans and animals. Each was shown in a picture with different bodies or heads of animals, counting on the type of job that the god might have and the power that they associated with the animal or bird.

Now, Egyptians are very fond of arts, music and sports. Football is the favorite sport of the Egyptians. Family ties are also very strong in Egypt. The males respect Egyptian women, which makes most of the big cities such as Cairo and Alexandria much safer for women than any western cities such as Sudan and Kuwait.

Over the last several thousand years, dozens of great civilizations have risen from nothing and fallen back into obscurity. Not all civilizations, however, leave a lasting mark on the world, especially not one so profound that influences the world as it exists today. One such civilization that has had a profound impact on daily modern lives was that of Ancient Egypt. Their systems of religion and technological innovation helped not only to leave a permanent impression on the world, but also served to mold both the civilizations that directly followed it as well as society today.

People in ancient Egypt were hard working, but they needed to have fun too. The people of ancient Egypt had many games they played for entertainment, such as hunting, board games, sports, festivals, and games for children. Many of their games were similar to the games we play today.

Although gods may sometimes seem similar, when you compare certain diverse cultures, their gods can actually be worlds apart. Of course the Egyptian, Aztec, Chinese, and Japanese gods have similarities, but they also have their differences. Every culture has their own unique history and their own beliefs.

Ancient Egypt's existence relied on agriculture and most of the population had to farm for survival. Vegetables, wheat and fruits were the primary harvests but some agriculturalists furthermore had a pastoral farming of goats, sheep and cattle. Just as the Western Culture, the Egyptians also treated the men and woman uniformly. Women played a huge role in the judicial, economic and diplomatic roles such as men.
