Egyptians lived around 5,000 years ago and were ruled by pharaohs. They wore simple linen clothes which were made from flax grown in Egypt. Both men and women wore jewelry including earrings and bracelets as symbols of resurrection. Egyptians ate meals of grains, vegetables, fruits, meat and bread twice per day. Wealthier families had larger homes while poorer families lived in multi-story townhouses or small homes along the Nile. Children attended school to learn reading, writing and arithmetic.
