What do we really know about the lives of the
ancient Egyptians? Tomb paintings and sacred hieroglyphic texts provide
a glimpse into the world of the elite, but information on the lives
of ordinary people remains scant. The majority of the population of
ancient Egypt were peasants who played a vital role within the country's
strict
hierarchical society.
Artifacts related to daily activities remain
as a testament to the labours of the
workers
who transformed ancient Egypt into an earthly paradise.
