ancient egyptian Religion
There was a mix of beliefs in Ancient Egypt that formed a religion the Egyptians used. This "religion" had practices which included mixes between the use of magic, mythology, science, medicine, psychiatry, spiritualism, herbology, as well as the latter day understanding of ‘religion’. The Egyptians believed that life was a journey that continued after death, and that you would need to be “worthy” enough to continue living into the afterlife. The Pyramid Texts are the oldest religious texts in ancient Egypt dating way back to from 2400-2300 B.C..

Different Perspectives In egypt
The daily life of an Egyptian was a simple one. The Egyptians valued family, and considered it “a great blessing”. Middle-class families had the mother taking care of the children, while upper-classes had slaves and servants to help take care of their children. If a married couple ended up having no children, then they would pray to the gods for help. Magic and adoption was also an option for couples with no children.
Houses in Ancient Egypt had very thick walls for insulation around the house. The Egyptians would usually keep their food outside their houses. When it became nighttime, the Egyptians would sleep on the roof of their house because it would keep them cool while they slept. Children could only play near their house because if they went too far away, they would be in danger of the crocodiles and hippos (yes, hippos were a danger).
Some women would become something called a “wet nurse”, but for the most part, only wives of high ranking government officials would become wet nurses. Wet nurses would breast-feed pharaoh children. Sometimes, these wet nurses would later become the nannies of the children that they breast-fed. Pharaoh children would consider their wet nurse’s children as a brother or sister, and they would help the wet nurse’s children in things such as getting a spouse or a good job.
