These four ancient civilizations are ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, ancient India and ancient China.
Since the emergence of civilization, ancient Egypt has occupied the first place.
Its civilization appeared around 3500 BC. The ancient civilization of China was later than that of ancient Egypt 1500 years.
The representative achievements of ancient Egyptian civilization are pyramids, and of course hieroglyphs and mummies.
To explore Egypt, we must study the pyramids.
The pyramids are the tombs of ancient Egyptian kings. These pyramids are mainly distributed on both sides of the Nile.
There are many murals in these pyramids. From these rich murals, we can learn something about the social life of ancient Egypt.
This is a tomb mural found in the pyramids of ancient Egypt.
As we can see from the picture, this is a family gathering of an Egyptian aristocratic family.
Men with short hair and women with long hair.
Sitting on the left are elders, not husband and wife, and on the right are a pair of children.
Judging from the hair, whether it is long hair or short hair, it is very regular.
A lady's headdress has feathers and flowers.
Men's headdresses are relatively simple, tied with red strips of cloth.
Standing on the right in the picture are a pair of children of parents on the left, holding all kinds of food in their hands for their parents to eat.
Judging from his son's clothes, he is wearing tiger skin. We can see the tiger head on the son's chest and the long tiger tail on his leg.
This tiger fur coat is also a first-class treasure in ancient Egypt. Explain that their family is well-off and rich. Its status is extraordinary.
Both women and men wear long fat skirts, which shows that their family life should belong to a gentleman's life.
It is said that women wear long and exquisite wigs, which is very popular in the new kingdom.
Look at the early Egyptian hieroglyphs on the wall.
Judging from the appearance and manners of the four people in the murals, they are all dignified and polite. Family education is very cultured.
In the mural, we can see that our parents are not wearing socks on their feet.
In addition to my father wearing simple sandals and slippers, my mother simply stepped on the wooden mat barefoot.
This may be related to the living habits of Egypt.
Look again, this is the sculpture behind the mural characters.
We can see the third person from left to right. He is wearing thick armor and a big hat on his head. He may be a higher-ranking commander.
The headdresses, shapes and identities of the other three people are different.
Egyptians believed that people could be resurrected after death, so they carved their own images on the walls. In order to get eternal happiness.
These murals and sculptures have become the most direct first-hand historical materials for our study of Egypt today.
