The ancient Egyptians were fascinating people, and
thanks to the movies, are often misunderstood. The ancient Egyptians
were not in love with death, but with life! They enjoyed their life
to the fullest. They worked very hard, but saved time to enjoy family,
friends, music, parties, swimming, fishing, hunting, sailing, and
especially their children, all of which were very important to the
ancient Egyptians.
In ancient Egypt, children were the heart of the family. If a
couple could not have a child, they adopted a child.
Children were taught to be kind and honest, to respect their
parents, to help with the family business, and to care for the elder
members of their family.
It was important that children learn to be caring. The ancient
Egyptians believed in "ma'at" - order and justice. They spent
a lifetime trying to be fair and just at all times. The ancient
Egyptians believed that you could only reach your afterlife if your
heart was light. The only way your heart would be light is if you had
spent a lifetime being kind and honest. Anyone and everyone, from the pharaoh on down,
who made a mistake or lost their temper made up for it by doing good
deeds to balance the scale.
We think you'll be truly amazed at what you will discover about
those creative, clever, curious, hard working, life-loving,
game-creating, light-hearted people - the ancient Egyptians. We think
you'll like them!
