What was life like for an ancient Egyptian farmer?

In the modern age, we tend to romanticise agriculture. Well, so did the ancient Egyptian nobles who never toiled in the fields a day in their lives. What was it really like?

Look out for a new Armchair Egyptology video every Friday.

Your vids are short, sweet, concise and to the point, perfect for people with short attention spans like myself😛. For me, living stateside, your British accent adds a little je ne sais quoi, an air of intelligentsia 🧐we lack over here sometimes; especially, during the MAGA right-wing, nut-job nonsense we’re still coping with rn.
