Words from Life in Ancient Egypt

50 L.E.

 

Author: Dr. Marwa El Kadi

 

The book aims to enrich the cultural knowledge of children concerning history, and to raise their sense of patriotism and belonging toward the society they live in. It starts with a historical introduction on the origin of the ancient Egyptian language and writing then provides a general view on the daily life of ancient Egyptians, accompanied with some ancient Egyptian words for food, drinks, clothing, jewelry, religious rituals, different means of transportation, and the tools and colors used by scribes.

 

On one hand, it tackles aspects of social life related to family, home, clothing, jewelry, food, drinks, methods, tools, places, buildings, and furniture; while addressing the economic aspects of the ancient Egyptian society on the other hand.


 

That is why the more thoroughly children read this book, the more they enrich their linguistic vocabulary. They become more capable of exploring language, and the past as well.
