Life of the Egyptians

What are the causes and effects of the Egyptian civilization?

There are different ancient civilizations. All civilizations have left many lessons on the planet. For this, I must take into account what are the reasons and the consequences that they left us. I want to know about the family, the work, the clothes, the meals, etc.

First of all, Egyptian civilizations are centered on rivers this was based along the Euphrates and the Tigris Rivers and their tributaries. The Egyptian family was along the valley of the river NILE, since this civilization planted their own food throughout this, as they don´t have water. Most of the family worked in agriculture. Egypt was divided between the pharaohs for them was almost a god, priests, artisans, slaves. They had a system based on religious beliefs, under the direction of a character Pharaoh semi-divine, usually male, belonging to a succession of dynasties, possibly not the same lineage.

The second point Egyptians ate necessarily two large meals each day: one at dawn and another at dusk. Leads to Egyptians for go to the market to purchase food. They ate plenty of cereal, vegetables, and fruits. The rich soil of the Nile River made growing crops easy. On the other hand, the structure of the Egyptian family was made up of father, mother and children. The father was responsible for providing his family. The mother stayed home and raised the children. Small children and other female relatives lived in a special part of the house. Much of the children's time was spent in training for their adulthood. By age four the children would help their parents in the field or train as craftsmen. The last causes produced different effects.

The first effect was that the Egyptian civilization only worked in agriculture and they knew develop other jobs. At present the Egyptian civilization leave their areas architectural (houses) where they lived. These spaces are tourist zones at this time. Other effect was that by being divided by a pyramidal structure, many Egyptians were poor and they worked for the Pharaohs. For this reason, the Egyptian slaves were exploited by the Pharaohs and they left than slaves die. Other slaves have many sickness and they also has many hungry.The effect of the family structure was that women were not taken into account when decisions in the family.

In conclusion, the Egyptian civilization is one of the civilizations that leave many lessons. At present the culture of this civilization lies in a world and many people want to see how they are developed in the past, this can be seen in the architectural monuments that left us well to visit and learn more of their culture.
