☥☥ Ancient Egyptian Family Life – Daily Life in Ancient Egypt ☥☥
It may surprise you to learn that there was no official marriage ceremony in ancient Egypt and that marriage was not tied to religion. Why was this so? And what was ancient Egyptian family life like after marriage? Did couples live on their own or with extended family? What was expected of ancient Egyptian sons and daughters?
In this video, we’ll talk about ancient Egyptian family life and the expectations placed on married couples, parents, and children with examples drawn from art and legal documents from the ancient Egyptian Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and New Kingdom.
