From its unity in 3100 B.C. to its conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C., ancient Egypt was the preeminent civilization in the Mediterranean world for over 30 centuries.
Egypt's magnificence has long captivated archaeologists and historians, creating a flourishing area of study.
From the magnificent pyramids of the Old Kingdom to the military triumphs of the New Kingdom, the picture that emerges is of a culture that has few counterparts in terms of the beauty of its art, the accomplishment of its building, or the depth of its religious traditions.
Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel. Today we are talking about the culture of ancient Egypt and its great geography.
First let’s see a fun fact about Egypt. Do you know in Ancient Egypt, there were two types of writing: hieroglyphs and hieratic writing? Hieroglyphs were frequently used as decorative displays on monuments and tombs. Whereas, the hieratic script is a cursive writing style.
In our first part of the video, we will talk about the culture of ancient Egypt.
The Egyptians typically lived in modest dwellings, raised children, and took part in leisure activities, just like the inhabitants of Mesopotamia, India, China, and Greece.
They thought that the land was intimately connected to their individual salvation and that they had a great fear of dying outside of Egypt, which was a big contrast between their culture and other’s culture.
Egyptians were urged to live thankfully within their means and to exult in and profoundly appreciate their local environment as a result of this. Egyptian culture was controlled by the idea of ma ‘at and Egyptians of all classes made an effort to live in harmony with their environment and one another.
Homes for the poorer classes were constructed using mud bricks that were baked in the sun. Wealthier individuals had dwellings built of a double layer of brick or more, whilst poorer people's homes were only one brick wide.
The wealthier a citizen, the thicker the home; Given that interiors of the dwellings were frequently weakly lit, wood was rare and was primarily used for entryway and window sills. The roof was also thought of as another room in the house where meetings were frequently held.
Simple, undyed linen was used for clothing. Men wore knee-length skirts, and women wore airy, ankle-length garments or wraps. There was never a moment in Egyptian history when women were forbidden from dressing whichever they liked.
Men had no authority to decide what a woman, even one's own wife, could wear because it was considered that the goddess Isis had granted equality to both sexes. Up until adolescence, children wore very little or no clothes.
The lower classes didn't plan marriages, and there doesn't appear to have been a formal wedding ceremony either. When a man brought presents to the home of his future wife, she would move in with him if the gifts were approved.
A contract would be created that would divide up a man's possessions between his wife and children; this allocation could not be changed, unless there was evidence of infidelity.
Egyptian women could rule over temples, possess property, residences, companies, and even serve as pharaohs as in the case of Queen Hatshepsut, who ruled from 1479 to 1458 BCE, or Queen Sobekneferu, who ruled from around 1767 to 1759 BCE.
According to historian Thompson, Egypt treated its women better than any other significant ancient society. The Egyptians viewed home and family as the primary sources of enjoyment and thought that joy and contentment were valid life objectives. This idea led to the highest status for women in Egypt compared to all other ancient cultures.
The lady was the head of the home, while the man was seen as the head of the house. She reared the kids of both genders until the males were placed under the care and tutelage of their dads at the age of four or five to study their vocation or attend school if the father was a scribe, priest, or doctor.
Before being married, girls lived with their moms and learned how to manage a home. However, this was uncommon since schooling was costly and custom dictated that the son, not the daughter, should pursue the father's profession.
Women might also be scribes, priests, or doctors. After puberty, marriage became the norm among Egyptians, and being single was seen as aberrant.

Thanks for your informative video clip, please do not overlook that the pyramids are
over 11, 500 years old and that no Egyptians have existed nor have lived there then!

There was only one person who actually defeated Alexander the great ! The Porus ! And it's said that Alexander had never seen someone fighting on elephant in any war like he saw The porus.
