[@Belhagays]

3 of the documents that they founded and really impressed me about their life and how its near to our life nowadays: 1- an attendence for workers in a query and the guy who was taking the attendance had wanted to count something so he flipped the papper and done the math on the other side. Very impressive to see that they had an attendance sheet in ancient world😳 2- a father send a letter to his son at the university in the capital which is one of the funniest documents as the hard talk are very similar to what is used with children in modern egypt. Actually very similar to a one that wrote by my grandfather to my uncle when he went to university. 3- was a document of a law suit of a dispute on a house. Which it sounds very modern. Frankly what I like about ancient Egypt that you can find allot of this documents and not just the tales of the rulers but people who lived there

[@egyptianboi305]

U Egyptian?

[@varana]

@@chewhard8332 ​ Esp. Egypt also had a prolific bureaucracy, with professional scribes keeping records of lots of stuff. So we do have texts mentioning the working conditions, wages, and so on of lower-class people, mostly because they were mentioned in these official documents. And for some official documents, it's not necessary that the holder can read them. They just need to have them, and show them to the scribe if needed. And even though only a small minority could write or read, you can pay a scribe to write a letter for you, and read it out to the recipient. So while of course the poorest people are under-represented, it's not only wealthy literate people who left us records of their lives. As for the pyramids, them lasting this long is impressive but not a result of "precision" or something. They're basically artificial mountains - huge piles of stone in a very stable shape, in a very dry climate and on land that no-one needed for anything else. So nobody went to the huge effort to intentionally destroy them, and as we can see with natural mountains, they don't just disappear by themselves.

[@petermielke5026]

When I heard this was sponsored by Pharaoh I got extremely excited! I actually jumped a little in excitement! This was my favorite video game growing up! I loved the style and the fact it was based around Ancient Egypt. I also loved it because it was like building with LEGOs but on a computer and I had little meeples running around the screen. I still have my original game manual from way back in (2001? 2003? Idk when my Mom bought the game, but I was super young being like 5-7 years old). I loved that game so much. I spent hours playing it. Sometimes I got waaay too distracted by the game. But I loved it so much that when I lost my original disk my Mom bought me a replacement disk copy of the game. I still play it occasionally.

Those who didnt comply had their tongues cut off. He even ordered mothers that spoke to their children in Coptic to also have their tongue cut off. He personally walked the streets of Cairo and eavesdropped on Coptic-speaking homes to find out if any family was speaking Coptic.[20][21].
