Egyptian Food by Victor Osorto

Have you ever thought if Egyptians grew vegetables and fruits or if they only ate meat? The ancient Egyptians diet considered a vast amount of grains, fish, fruit, and vegetables. Grapes grow in the Nile delta, and Animals such as cows were very healthy therefore they were very expensive. As a result this research paper will talk to you about diet, growth of food, and meat.




Can you believe Egyptians are diabetics People? I still can’t. The Egyptians ate a vast amount of food. They didn’t want to get overweighed. For example they ate 3- 5 fruits per month, because fruits are very sugary which could get them sick. Doubtless, ancient Egypt’s probably eat better than others in the ancient world. For example, KMT, a name for ancient Egypt refers to its, rich, dark, fertile soil, and we have no doubt that since the invention of agriculture, Egyptians, with the Nile Valley and Delta, had a distinct advantage over many others when it came to food. Agriculture existed from an early date in Egypt. From the common people of Egypt, cereal foods formed the main backbone of their diet from the predynaste period onward. Even for the rich this staple mean generally consisted a variety of different breads with spices mixed in. So that’s how Egyptians kept there body on a diet you ever think if Egyptians Garden? Egyptians try to get the weather, for them to plant. They wanted to make sure it was safe to plant. For example animals might of gotten their crops or the Nile might flood the crops. Egyptians also plant, for them to tell at their local market. For instance, if they want the food fast they just went to the market to buy some fruits and veggies. Last Egyptians planted for their Kings. For instance Kings love their fruits to be fresh, and barely taken out of the ground. So those are some of the reasons and why’s the Egyptians planted.



I am in shock; you’ll just have to see for yourself. Whatever meat couldn’t be eaten fresh had to be preserved quickly. For example, it would rotten, and smell bad. Meat was very expensive only people with money could buy it. For example, The Pharaohs, people with money, and builders, and much more. Last the Egyptians ate meat because they say it helped their believes. Supposly that red meat was special to the Egyptians. Well that’s the truth of Egyptian meat.

        Have you wondered in your life what Valley of the Kings is? The Valley of the Kings is located in the heart of Egypt on the west bank of Thebes. The Valley of the Kings had a lot of famous pharaohs inside the tombs. One of the most famous Egyptologist was assure that the tomb had escaped a discovery. Therefore in this essay you will focus on the monuments of the pharaohs, treasures and pharaohs, plus Valley of the Kings now.

        Have you ever wondered about the tombs of the pharaohs? Valley of the Kings lies on the heart of Egypt on the west bank of Thebes. Valley of the Kings had a lot of secrets, for example the people who visit Egypt didn’t know about Valley of the Kings until 1922. The Egyptian’s kept this secret for about 10 to 20 years. The monuments of the New Kingdom pharaohs lie across the Nile, Luxor. The Nile was practically life for the Egyptians so it would make sense that they would burry their rulers in Egypt would want to be buried next to the Nile. For example if you were dead and you would want the people to put you on a wonderful place the Nile would be the best choice. Valley of the Kings contains a lot of monuments of the pharaohs. One of the biggest tombs that lies on Valley of the Kings is Ramses the II. Maybe he has the biggest tomb because he was the most important Pharaohs of all the pharaohs.   

            Have you ever wondered what’s inside the monuments of the pharaohs? Valley of the Kings contains a lot of riches inside the pharaoh’s tombs, including the owners of the tombs (pharaohs). There was also enough food, water , beer ,and wine for them for the Afterlife .  The pharaohs trusted their monuments because they hid their sacred tombs. The pharaoh were clever, once they hid their tombs they put a secrete chamber to put their self and their riches. Why? They were to afraid that a thief would steel their gold. That’s why now in days the pharaohs from the New kingdom !!!!!!!! The Egyptians belied that you die you would just go to the next step of living ;they would go to the  afterlife.  The New Kingdom pharaohs had more riches than any other pharaoh. This is because the New Kingdom pharaohs were the stronger leaders. The Valley of the Kings had the most famous pharaohs hidden. For example Hatshepsut was called the lost Queen because she wasn’t found until 2007.When suddenly the most famous Egyptologist found Valley of the Kings. He not only found the Valley of the Kings, but spotted King Tut’s royal tomb. It took years for them to find the royal tomb; they found it in November 1922. That’s when the world saw their first royal mummy. Therefore Valley of the Kings has a lot of riches and pharaohs buried there.

                                            In conclusion me and my pair learned a lot about Ancient Egypt and pharaohs, riches, and plus the Pharaohs tomb. The pharaohs that we introduce today were the most worship pharaoh of Egypt. Overall that Valley of the Kings is the resting home for Hatshepsut, Tut, and Ramses the II, and the Gold was the most important thing to put in the rulers tomb.

Ancient Egyptian Fashion by Carolina Tecuautzin

Have you ever wondered how was clothes in ancient Egypt made, and who can afford jewelry the best? Clothes were made from materials of plants. Jewelry was for the ancient Egyptians. My essay will be about how were clothes made in ancient Egypt, differences between men and women clothes and jewelry I will give you all the information about that. 

How was clothes made in ancient Egypt? In ancient Egypt the clothes were made out of flax plant and valley plant made linen for clothes. The valley plant only made sleeves for the shirts and dresses and the flax plant made the rest of the parts of the clothes. This makes me think that each plant made some part. I think that this is important because I can show that in the pass dresses had sleeves and right now they don’t. The Egyptians who made the clothes bleached the clothes to produce attractive white cloth so the people and gods can buy them can clothes. This makes me think that ancient Egyptians tried to do attractive cloth to sell more, or wanted to get rich to afford gold jewelry. The sleeves from the women’s clothes had to have straight sleeves, or else some women’s would not buy clothes, or not wear them. This makes me think that woman’s loved clothes that had sleeves to not get sun burn when they go outside when it’s really hot. This kind helps us know that women’s actually didn’t like to get burn that why they wear long sleeves. Therefore, in ancient Egypt people made clothes from plants and    bleached clothes to attract people to buy the clothes.  Bleached clothes to attract people to buy the clothes.         

Have you ever wonder what were some differences between men and women? Men’s clothes were opened shirts and women’s clothes had sleeves but not men’s. This makes me think that men’s wearied open shirts because they worked, or they just wearied it so they can not be every hot. Women’s clothes were sold more than me men’s because a man’s loved fancy clothes, but a woman’s loved simple clothes they conformed them selves. It makes me think that the Egyptians who made the clothes sold more women’s clothes than men. Women bought more simple clothes because they were poor. Men’s clothes wasn’t sold that much because they loved fancy clothes and there wasn’t much fancy clothes. This makes me think that in ancient Egypt they sold more simple clothes than fancy clothes. This means that in ancient Egypt men’s didn’t have lots of clothes, but maybe women’s did .The men’s and women’s were so different from each other it should have been the opposite.                                                                                                         

How was jewelry used and who can afford jewelry and what kind? Egyptians used jewelry to brighten up their plain out fits and gold jewelry was available for rich only not poor.  This makes me think that is wasn’t fair that only rich people can buy gold jewelry and not poor they should lower the price so that poor people can buy gold to not only stones. I think that it would of been better that the price were the same as poor and rich people. The ones that have less wealthy copper and jewelry was called fuience earthenware decorated with colored glazes that imitate gemstones it was so cheap to buy. This makes me think that ancient Egyptians that were poor they called the rich people fuience earthenware. This means that rich people can afford the best than the poor people.   Wealthy women used stones earrings, but rich people used gold earrings rich women’s wore the best jewelry. This makes me think that at least is good that poor women at least wear jewelry. Even though that is wasn’t fair that rich women wore the best.

Therefore, in ancient Egypt clothes were made out of two types of plants for example valley plant and flax plant. Women’s clothes were very simple but they still wear, but men’s loved fancy clothes poor people will buy fancy jewelry and rich people bought gold jewelry. Lastly, I learned that women’s loved simple clothes and it didn’t matter if it was simple. Overall I learned how women’s simple clothes and the men didn’t. Where did rich people buy there fancy clothes if Egyptians only made simple clothes.   

             

                                                                                    

Ancient Pyramids

By: Eric Trejo

Have you ever wondered what’s inside a pyramid? Pyramids were great monuments for pharaohs because of their accomplishments they had made while they ruled. These pyramids were during the old kingdom, middle kingdom, and new kingdom. In this report I will focus on how the pyramids were made, tombs, and lastly what they were used for.        

Have you ever wondered how they made pyramids? Pyramids were built by heavy blocks of stone. Also they were made out of blocks of limestone. Since the blocks were dragged by sand it made the blocks look shinier like they do today. But there were only specific people to build the pyramids. They weren’t slaves that built the pyramids, they were built by free workers and farmers. Once the pharaoh died they started building the pyramid to bury the great pharaoh inside. On the other hand, other types of pyramids or tombs were built in a different way. For example, the mastabas was built with mud rock, and it was during the old kingdom. Also they were built by special employees of the pharaoh. And it took about 20 years to build one single pyramid. Finally these are the different ways pyramids were built and the free workers, farmers, and special employees made the pyramids, and they were built by them.

Have you ever wondered what the pyramids were used for? Well pyramids were big and great monuments for pharaohs. Also the pharaohs had pyramids to live in and for their families to live in. Before pyramids were built there were mastabas that had a coffin for the pharaoh. Therefore, when the pharaoh died they wrapped them up and the did ritual. Then they would put them inside the pyramids or mastabas. Finally pyramids were for pharaohs to bury them inside when they died. Therefore, pyramids were built for the pharaoh to live in and to be buried in once they died.

                                                  

           Have you ever seen a tomb before? Well I’ll tell you what a tomb is. A tomb is like a pyramid. Also the greatest testaments and shelter for a pharaoh in the afterlife are pyramids, and other tombs. However, the pharaohs had pyramids and other tombs, as their accomplishments they had done while they ruled. Finally one tomb called the mastabas was the earliest and simplest tomb structure because it was built with mud rock. As a result, these are other types of tombs that existed before pyramids.

In conclusion, this is the history of pyramids that were built, used, and before they existed. Also for me it’s great learning the history of pyramids and thank you for reading.

 Have you ever wondered what the Egyptian fashion looked like? Well if you’re interested in knowing you are reading the right essay, in this essay you will learn about make-up and minerals about clothing and clothing materials. In Ancient Egypt the most popular cloth for clothing was linen, because it was very simple. To use linen for clothing most women would fold it in half and sew the open side of it and make a dress. However, Egyptian women liked to use linen because it was easy to make a dress for them. The other reason is because linen was just a piece of boring cloth so the fun part of it was that you were able to decorate your dress yourself with beads and jewelry etc. Egyptian women always liked to be fancy so rich women would wool. Wool was expensive so you would most likely spot rich Egyptian men and women wearing wool. Wool was expensive because it would take a process to get the wool.

In other words the sheath dress was the most popular dress, for the clothing, and that there was less materials for clothing. Also women had more styles of clothes than the men.

          The Egyptians decided that if the men or women wore make up in real life mines well put make up on his or her statue. I thought that was really interesting. The Egyptians eye shadow had a bit of suntan lotion in it so that they won’t get burn in the hot sun. I think that was really clever because now days you have to put suntan lotion on top of your make up then it will get all ruined. It was a great idea because back then they didn’t have any suntan lotion so they would have skin cancer when they get a bit older, but I’m pretty sure that they didn’t know about that.

On the other hand, the eye make-up was the most the most used make-up back then in Ancient Egypt.

          Also some of the minerals for make-up can be soot, galena, water……and even more but those are some of them. Now that you have learned a little bit about Ancient Egypt clothing, and make-up.
