Egypt

politics and customs

a woman or man were
equal in the eyes of the law

women could own homes and businesses
just as men could

both sexes could adopt children which were
orphans of war or from a dead relative

no children were killed on the battle field

it was illegal to bribe the elders/court
if it was done the briber would pay it to the other
party

if a soldier hired a mersonary and does not pay
when they return then the soldier will die and the
mersonary will take his home and rank

daily life and the home

the whole famly would help with
planting and farming

due to the massive sand storms
most homes had wood or stone shutters

most homes would either have many
windows or a covered balcony on top
of the home to combat the heat

all regular homes had a main room diningroom
a large room with cots or straw mats for sleeping
and a bathroom of sorts with a bucket or hole for waste
