This documentary is an overview of the history of most Egyptians. This groups is mainly made up of farmers and farm workers. We first look at social hierarchy. There's a common misconception that Egyptians were divided by their occupations. For example, a pyramid might be ordered: Pharaoh, Government Officials (Vizier/Priests/Nobles), Soldiers, Scribes, Merchants, Artisans, Craftsmen, Farmers, Construction Workers, Serfs, Slaves. Next we look at why the Nile river was so essential to Egypt's prosperity. Most farmers lived by the Nile river and used it daily so it was extremely important. The work life of farmers is fascinating, so we spend a decent chunk of time seeing how farming worked in ancient Egypt. See the tools and process Egyptians used to farm and grow their crops. After this we walk through a reconstructed ancient Egyptian house. You'll see all of the rooms and furniture that was typical in a home at the time. Their pets were also important, so dogs and cats are briefly mentioned. Next we look at the ancient Egyptian diet. The staples were beer and bread. Wheat derived products were the basis of all meals. See what an Egyptian would eat from day to day in a full day of eating. Following the Egyptian menu, we take a look a what happens when an Egyptian dies. Life expectancies and causes of death are not a fun subject, but the process of death was a massive part of ancient Egyptian culture. On a lighter note, we finish off with family and free time. Much of life was spent on a farm working, but family was always the main focus of an Egyptian. What kids did in their spare time isn't really too different to what kids did today. In summary, this is a complete look at what daily life of an Egyptian was really like.
