1. Food and Medicine- In ancient eygpt they didn't have any medicine, there cure was a prayer, because they are reallly religious and beleive that everything that they do should have the blessing of the gods.

Since Egypt was dry, they mostly relied on the Nile river to water their crops, mainly they grew wheat and barley.

Some people usually get meat from butcher shops, just as we do today.

They also hunted for food, they hunted animals.

They plant seeds for watermelons and other sorts of melon, they also planted beets.

Food wasn't traded in Ancient eygpt, but they traded other things like linen and cloth. The traders were callled Barters.

Since it barely rained in ancient egypt they stored there meat outside in the courtyard of the store, instead of inside.

2.Clothing- workers wore loincloths (a piece of material fastened around the waist and worn by men) made out of animal hide and linen. They also wore simple tunic dresses. Some of the slaves worked naked.

Wealthy people wore long see through robes that were bleated. They didnt wear more jewellary or fancier clothes to show off that they are rich, they just wore gold jewelry and the most transparent clothes.

Priests wore clothes that were clean and they had to wear a leopard when serving the god Amun. They weren't allowd to wear leatehr sandles or wool clothing ( considered unclean)

noblemen wore a kilt ( wraparound skirt) topped with layers of fine pleated robes tied at teh waist with a sash.

Upper class women wore fine dresses, topped with shawls made from, one peice of cloth.

Lower class people wore tunics that are simple and made from coarser cloth.

3.Settlements and shelter-

Since the great expanses of the desert formed a barrier, that protected the river valley, so it was nearly impossible for massive armies to cross. The Eygptians built fortresses and outposts along the borders east and west of the Nile Delta, in the Eastern Desert

4.Jobs- Not that much jobs in Ancient Egypt were important even though they were all needed, which was a lot of jobs. There was...
 * - The Pharaoh**
 * - The Viziers**
 * - The Government ministers an high priests**
 * - The Scribes belonging to many priests**
 * - The Town mayors, district governors, priests and doctors**
 * - The Soldiers, Craftsman, Farmers and townspeople**

~ **__The Pharaoh__** ~ The pharaoh was quite lucky in Ancient Egypt because all he had to do was boss people around and they had to do whatever he said. But if the Pharaoh got weaker and some people weren't on his side, then the wealthy people wouldn't listen to him. The Pharaohs would build palaces in the Capital city of Egypt (which is Cairo) and live in there, but they actually called the palace where they lived 'the white house'. The Pharaoh demanded lots of things really (like the sphinx and the pyramids for the dead Pharaohs) be he would always have to get what he wanted.

~**__The Scribe ~__** A scribe was one of the most important jobs because they were among the few people who knew how to write and the government in Ancient Egypt recorded a lot of legal and business documents. The scribe could live in 'the white house' with the pharaoh as the scribe works with the Pharaoh. One of the reasons they had a written language was because they wanted to start recording information. Loads of parents wanted to send their kids to scribal school where they could learn to read and write. This would allow them to enter the government of royal services and become rich and powerful.

~ **__The Slaves__** ~ The slaves of Ancient Egypt had the worst job out of all the Egyptians, because they were the ones who had to build the pyramids and serve the wealthy people and instead of living in one house, they were bought and sold like objects. All they demanded was a roof over there head and food on their plate because they knew that if you were a slave and your not doing as your owner tells you to, then you'll get beaten badly.  5. Society - the social organization (also known as the pyramid of power) went like this, The Pharaoh. The Viziers. The Governments. The Ministers and High priests. The Scribes belonging to many ranks. The town Mayors, District governors, Priests and Doctors. The Soldiers, Craftsman, Farmers and Townspeople. The Peasants. The Slaves. The pharaoh ruled Egypt, because the Ancient Egyptians believed that he was the sun of god.He could tell anyone what to do and they would have to do it. But he was in charge af the wealth too! so he could do anything with the money!
