This is a very popular question, and unfortunately, there is no simple answer. However, it is an important one to address due to the racial divide the exists in many countries today, especially the United States. An ancient history professor once related the anecdote of how in one of his classes, a student wanted to know why Africa didn't have any civilizations in ancient times.

The ancient Egyptians included images of people making and eating food in their art, described food in their texts, and even buried items of food in tombs with the deceased. Thus we have a fairly good idea of what they ate. The staples of the average person’s diet were bread—made in many different shapes—beer, and vegetables.

How long does a millennia last and how does that compare to the length of a great age?

Some royal images in sculpture and relief seem to resemble the preserved mummies of kings, suggesting that they may have been portraits. In fact, all periods of Egyptian art include works that appear to be lifelike, but even an image that seems to be realistic is not necessarily a close resemblance to a real person. The Western concept of portraiture may not have existed in ancient Egypt. Many Egyptian images are idealizing, intended to convey specific qualities such as youth or athleticism.

Elite men and women cut their hair short or shaved it completely, either to keep cool, to fit under a wig, or as a precaution against lice. They wore wigs made of human hair, and hairpieces of artificial curls or braids that could be added separately. Wigs were probably worn in public and at parties. Men and women also shaved their body hair and Egyptian priests were required to shave their heads and bodies as part of a purification process during their terms of service in a temple.

There is no single ancient Egyptian word equivalent to the word “time,” although many words referred to segments or kinds of time such as parts of the day, specific occurrences, and “never.” Unlike the Western calendar, the ancient Egyptians did not have a continuous dating system from a fixed point. An early lunar calendar, based on the cycles of the moon, coexisted with a solar or civil calendar by the time of the Old Kingdom.

The ancient Egyptians worshipped the Neteru. These people often saw the presence of the Neteru in various animals and other aspects of nature: Heru's majesty is echoed in the flight of the hawk; Sekhmet's strength is easily seen in the powerful lion; the rebirth of Ausir was evoked by the cycle of barren drought and renewal in the annual flood of the Nile.

The word “mummy” derives from the Arabic mummiya, meaning “bitumen” or “pitch” (tar or asphalt), and refers to the black resin discovered on bodies placed in Late Period burials. The ancient Egyptian word for “mummy” was sah, meaning “nobility” and “dignity.

One of the most popular misconceptions about ancient Egyptians is that they worshiped animals such as cats, dogs, and birds. Some animals, such as the Apis bull, may have been sacred, but the majority were not.
