Homes

Some of Ancient Eygpt's homes were made from bricks of sun dried mud called adobe. These homes were divided into three areas: a reception area, a hall, and the private quarter. Their windows and doors were covered with mats to keep out the flies, dust, and heat. They also had town houses. Their town houses were built with a shelter on the roof to catch cool north breezes.

They also had a nobleman's villa. A nobleman's villa was home to family, servants, and livestock. The first room was called a private room. Private rooms were at the back of the house and were much more simple. The second room was called a public room. Public rooms were in the middle and the front of the house. The third room was a bathroom. Bathrooms were used by mostly rich people. To take a shower the bather stood up and he/she would get water poured over them by a servant.

Their rooms had furniture, chairs, stools, lamps, chests, and beds. Furniture was made in workshops by carpenters. Chairs had carved wooden frames and low seats made from braided cord. Chests were used to store everything because there were no cupboards. Stools came in a variety of styles from simple, low strutures to elaborately decorated styples with carved legs. Lamps were stone or pottery bowls filled with palm-nut oil and a wick made of flax. Beds had wooden frames and bases of woven rushes.
