When you mention the ancient way of life, I'm afraid you think of the primitive and backward life with extremely poor sanitary conditions. People live in humble shacks, cook in jars, and clean their bottoms with natural things after defecation. If you get sick, you have to wait for death. If you live to be 40 or 50 years old, you will be Amitabha.

In fact, this kind of life was not necessarily in ancient times. Many people lived this life decades ago. Until now, there are still many people living like this on this planet. On the contrary, in distant ancient times, life in some places can even be compared with that in some places now, such as ancient Egypt four or five thousand years ago.

This is a small statue of Amrat culture in Upper Egypt 5800 -5500 years ago. It's hard to imagine that such a beautiful work of art appeared nearly 6000 years ago?

This is a cultural relic left over from prehistoric Egypt, the so-called ancient Egypt, which began 5,200 years ago and ended around 2,200 years ago. The whole Egyptian civilization disappeared in the long river of history, leaving a lot of precious cultural relics, murals and hieroglyphics that no one can recognize. It was not until 1798 that Napoleon made an expedition to Egypt and discovered the Rosetta Stone carved in three languages by Jean-Fran? ois champollion, a famous French historian, linguist and Egyptian archaeologist, in 1822 that Egyptian civilization was revealed to the world and is still being excavated.

From a large number of deciphered documents, people have discovered the amazing "modern" lifestyle of ancient Egyptians, some of which can be said to be incredible and completely incredible.

Commute by boat

The Nile is a place where ancient Egyptians recuperate. They depend on the Nile for almost everything, such as using water, watering crops and even going to work. At that time, the daily activities of the lower classes depended on a boat made of papyrus reeds, which people used to commute in the Nile; Large ships made of acacia wood are used to transport a lot of materials, such as stones for building pyramids; After the death of the nobles, their bodies were mummified and sent to the cemetery along the Nile River for burial in a funeral procession composed of these ships.

However, these ships are not always absolutely safe, because there are two terrible animals in the Nile-crocodiles and hippos, which often attack ships, causing tragic casualties. It is said that the founder of ancient Egyptian history, Pharaoh menes, who founded the first dynasty of ancient Egypt in 3 100 BC, was attacked by hippos and died. Dr Benson Haller, an Egyptian scientist, even concluded that Tutankhamun, the protagonist of the "Pharaoh's curse" who died at the age of 18, may have been disabled by hippos and eventually died.

Test fertility with garlic

The ancient Egyptians knew that sex would lead to fertility, but they didn't know the exact connection between these organs. They think that a woman's uterus and digestive tract are connected, so if garlic is put into a woman's vagina, she can test her fertility-if she can smell garlic from her mouth, it means she has good fertility; If there is no garlic smell, then her fertility channel may be blocked and it is difficult to get pregnant.

However, for men, people think that his sperm comes from bones, not from testicles as we know them now.

The law stipulates that men and women are equal.

Many customs in ancient Egypt conform to modern times. For example, the ancient Egyptian law stipulated that men and women were equal, and women enjoyed the same rights and status as men, which was far from some so-called "civilizations" re-established in that land later. Baby boys are as popular as baby girls in ancient Egypt, and there is no infanticide in other places; Allow women to own property, including land, slaves, livestock and servants, and sell, inherit or bequeath other people's property; Women can also sue for divorce, and husbands may be whipped and fined if they beat their wives. Egyptian women can even become pharaohs, such as Hatshepsut and Cleopatra VII.

The first police force in the world

During the Middle Kingdom of ancient Egypt, the world's first police or guard force was born in ancient Egypt. It consists of the most loyal soldiers and foreign mercenaries. Its main duty is to protect city temples and squares, upper-class members and caravans from criminals. In addition to the routine duties of protecting civilians and property, the ancient Egyptian police will go to farmers' homes with tax collectors to urge them to pay taxes in full and on time. The ancient Egyptian police were sometimes responsible for conveying important or sensitive information to government officials, and patrolling the market to guard against theft was also their common job.

The police in ancient Egypt had a strict hierarchy, including leaders, captains and ordinary members, and even immigrants and prisoners of war were brought into the police force. Besides police dogs, some police forces are equipped with trained monkeys.

Surgery in ancient Egypt

This is completely imaginable. The ancient Egyptians made mummies and embalmed the human body, and gained rich anatomical knowledge. Their understanding of disease and pain is so advanced that they can even perform complicated operations.

A 5-meter-long papyrus manuscript of Edwin Smith left in BC 1600 is the first medical document on surgical trauma in human history. 48 cases were recorded, including the treatment of head and neck injuries, arms and trunk injuries, and the diagnosis, prognosis and causes of the injuries were introduced in detail.

In BC 1550, the papyrus scroll in Elbers recorded the knowledge of ancient Egyptian herbs, which is considered as one of the oldest medical documents in the world, including about 700 magical formulas and herbs, the ancient Egyptians' understanding of the heart as the blood supply center of the body, and the knowledge of contraception, asthma, bones, dentistry and burns, but there are also some things about magic, such as how to get rid of the devil's spell.

There were many doctors in ancient Egypt, and the great Vizil Imhotep was regarded as the founder of ancient Egyptian medicine and the real father of world medicine. He diagnosed and treated more than 200 diseases, involving abdomen, eyes, rectum, bladder and other organs, and performed some surgical and dental operations. Later, Imhotep was deified and became the only ordinary person in ancient Egypt with the status of a god.

There was such a beautiful culture and advanced life four or five thousand years ago, and the ancient Egyptian civilization was incredible. But last week, I went to Sanxingdui in Guanghan, Sichuan, where a large number of exquisite cultural relics were unearthed. The time is about 4800 years ago to 3 100 years ago, but the cultural relics and portraits in it seem to be very different from the traditional civilization of China, and even feel very similar to that of ancient Egypt. I wonder if there is any connection between them.

The first beauty in Egypt

There is no word queen in ancient Egyptian. You should ask the king's first wife to translate directly from ancient Egyptian and later into a queen. In ancient Egypt, the queen did not participate in state affairs much, but only traveled in celebrations and religious ceremonies. However, the influence of private on the king is beyond doubt.

An Egyptian Pharaoh can have many wives, but only the queen is a "great wife". Only the queen can go out with the king in public, and only the son of the queen is the legal heir to the throne. Nefertiti, the wife of Pharaoh Okhennathan, is known as the first beauty in ancient Egypt. She has many statues and monuments and is still loved by many Egyptian handicrafts. Her ancient Egyptian name means beauty, just like China's name directly addressed Zhang Meili and Wang Meili.

To put it simply, in the history of Egypt, the pharaohs were unified by theocracy, but with the progress of society, the power of feudal society was separated from God, and emperors and religious leaders led people in different fields respectively. Pharaoh was not only the highest administrative ruler in ancient Egypt, but also the highest representative in religion. Pharaoh can marry many wives, just like the 3,000 harems in China. But Pharaoh married many wives for another reason. It is reported that at the beginning of Egypt, the neonatal mortality rate was extremely high, and Pharaoh had to marry many wives if he wanted to have a successor.

The Pharaoh of Egypt had only one wife, and the rest belonged to concubines. The average Pharaoh will only have one wife, and she is usually his elder sister, elder sister and even mother. If he doesn't like tradition, he will marry the woman he loves. Generally speaking, the bigger the territory, the more wives there are.

Egyptian men's view of love

Platonic love, also called spiritual love, is a way of loving life but not body. A spiritual love between people named after Plato, a western philosopher, needs inner communication, conflicting desires and objective spiritual innocence.

The essence of Plato's love should be to take "beauty" as the norm, achieve spiritual combination and then ignore physical communication. Regardless of gender as the first factor, at that time, women's extensive cultural education level was low, while men's cultural education level was high, so they could not communicate logically and achieve balance, which led to the style of making friends with men in ancient Egypt.

Viewpoint:

1, ideal type

Platonic love is an ideal concept of love. An extremely romantic or impossible view of love. Stand by your lover, pay silently, and wait silently. Don't expect to be close, and don't pray for possession; Even though I know there will be no result at all, I still insist on not regretting it. Perhaps this unrequited pursuit doomed the tragic ending.

2. Pure spirit

Platonic love is a purely spiritual view of love. Pursue spiritual communication. When the mind abandons the body and yearns for the truth, then thought is the best; When human beings have no strong demand for sensuality, their mood is peaceful. Carnal desire is the expression of animal nature in human nature, and it is also the nature of every creature.

Are Egyptian girls easy to chase?

Ancient Egypt used to be one of the four ancient civilizations, but the civilization of ancient Egypt has been lost, and evidence of its existence can only be found through some written records. There are many mysterious legends about pyramids, mummies and pharaohs' curses, many of which have not been uncovered so far. The marriage custom in ancient Egypt is also very unique, but if it is put now, it is unacceptable to modern people. This custom is consanguineous marriage.

After studying ancient Egypt, archaeologists found that people in ancient Egypt fell in love very freely. Their love is not bound by anyone. Ancient Egyptian women were mature at the age of 10. If they have a boy they like, they will take the initiative to pursue it, which can be said to be very modern. In their time, premarital sex was also common. They can get married when both parties think that the other wants to get married.

All the property after marriage is given to the wife for safekeeping, and the wife gives the property to her daughter for inheritance. The ancient Egyptians attached great importance to the purity of blood, so in order to keep the purity of blood, they chose the way of consanguineous marriage to ensure that the property would not flow out. The precedent of consanguineous marriage is the royal family in ancient Egypt.

We all know now that consanguineous marriage is very harmful to the fetus. Even if the appearance has not changed, the physique is weaker than the average person. Many children of the royal family in ancient Egypt could not live beyond the age of 20, but they chose to get married in order to ensure the purity of their heirs.

However, the divorce system in ancient Egypt was also very developed. As long as both parties agree, they can divorce.

Egyptian men are generally handsome.

Pretty good, the Egyptian male friends I know are very handsome and full of Muslim world. They are very cold, nice and simple, one in Cairo and the other in Sharjah, but I personally like Libya's relatively tall figure, most of them are above 180, and Egyptians are relatively short. ...
