The Ancient Egyptian Life/Family

The ancient Egyptian family highly valued their family life. They treasured their children and considered them a great blessing. The wealthy families and the nobilities had slaves and servants that helped take care of their children while the poorer and less fortunate families took care of their children themselves. If a family was unable to have a family, then they would either go to the gods and goddesses for help, or they would use magic. Adoption was also another option if none of the possible options would work. Overall, the poor families actually got to take the time to spend with their children, while the wealthier people had the option, but they just decided to have servants and slaves take care of their own children. The life of Ancient Egyptians was usually located near the Nile River and along the fertile land along the banks. The people of Ancient Greece built their own mud brick homes, and grew their own foods. Most of the Egyptian people worked as farmers, scribes, or craftsmen’s.
