for public works

Slavery
In Egypt – Isn’t what you think
![Page 11: Egyptian Culture](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681632b550346895dd3a5b3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How slavery worked• Small scale • Most slaves were convicted criminals or
prisoners of war• The number of slaves increased through the
years

LifestylesVaried greatly according to social class
Pharaohs lived very differently than peasantsYou get the idea
Pharaohs could marry 1,000 women if they wanted, Egyptian males could marry only 1

Staying COOL
In Egypt
![Page 14: Egyptian Culture](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681632b550346895dd3a5b3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Staying Cool in Egypt• Rule 1
• Get a hair cut – if an Egyptian did not have good hair, they would shave their heads and adorn a wig
• Rule 2• First impression is everything – perfume and makeup were
common for men and women. No one wants to be “that guy” who stinks. The eyeliner was pretty and doubled as a sunblock
• Rule 3 • More clothes, – the richer you are, the more clothes you wear.
You can tell by looking at someone where they fall in society – kind of like today ja?
• Rule 4• Don’t be cheap – if you want to look good, buy fine linens –
whatever the cost
