Most ancient Egyptian homes had just two or three rooms, with workspace on the roof. Rich people builtlarger houses, with painted walls, fine furniture, gardens, and pools. In poor families, women wore rough
homemade dresses and men wore cloths tied around the hips. But the rich could afford curled wigs,
makeup, colored clothes, and jewels. They had servants and slaves to work for them.
Rich or poor, all Egyptians valued family life. They married young and had many children. Families
worked together and played together. Egyptian people liked games, stories, music, dancing, and holiday
feasts and parades.
The ancient Egyptians believed in magic and many gods. People built little shrines to their favorite gods.
They wore amulets (charms), and recited prayers and spells. They also built statues representing gods.
The most famous is the Great Sphinx of Giza. This huge statue with the body of a lion and the head of a
man still stands today.
The ancient Egyptians had a complex system of writing known as hieroglyphics. This form of writing
looks like columns of little pictures. These picture-symbols are called hieroglyphs. Not everyone could
read hieroglyphs. Reading and writing was the job of special scholars called scribes.
