Although we had found a lot of information about the ancient Egypt civilisation through our books, we decided to find out more about it! We turned on our computers, connected to the Internet and searched for unusual facts about life in ancient Egypt. Here's what we found out:
The ancient Egyptians wore light clothes made of linen and flax. Men wore skirts and waist belts. Women wore long dresses. Rich Egyptians bought the best fabrics and they wore a lot of jewellery. Wealthy women also decorated their clothes! Children didn't wear clothes until they were about six years old. The people went barefoot most of the time, but wore sandals for special occasions or if their feet were likely to get hurt.
The Egyptians used to eat wheat into bread, soup or porridge and they also made beer! They liked eating meat, but they didn't eat pork. When they wanted a dessert, they ate dates and figs.
