how it was made

  • Poor people only used 1 row of sun dried bricks.
  • Average people had 2 floors for living.
  • Farmers had 2 floors one for living, one for storing crops. 
  • Rich people could build there homes and have up to 30 rooms.
  • Rich homes used cheap clay to create their homes.
The houses that the poorest people lived were really small, they only used one row of bricks, and they were sun dried bricks. The houses that the not so poor people lived in used two or three rows of sun dried bricks,although the sun dried bricks would make a roof over their heads , it would only last them a few years and it would crumble and ya you get the point.The houses that the farmers lived in had two floors. The upper floor was used used for living space so that meant they had a kitchen, probably two rooms and a family room. The second floor was used for storing crops, reed canopy on windows meant for shade. The houses that the rich fellows lived in house that they built,
so they could,so they could have as many rooms as they wanted and as many windows as they wanted. Last but not least. The rich fellows had a indoor bathrooms, while the poor people had to pee outside and put it in a bag and throw it into a sewage. The rich people had a main door, where they would pleat guest. Also my last reason is that they could have up to 30 rooms.

mODERN DAY USE

  • Today we have toilets and we could flush, ancient times thrown in sewage 
  • Ancient homes would crumble after a year or two.
  • We advanced our skills to create awesome homes like this one.
  • We have new materials for homes wood and clay
  • We also could make as many rooms also we have a garage now 
The modern day use of ancient Egypt housing came a long way from using bathrooms to even owning a house also how we advanced our skills and technology.Bathrooms came a long way because my proof is the washroom you used today, also how we advanced to flush our urine and poop, back in ancient Egypt they had to throw it into a sewage in a bag.My second reason is how we even have a house, back in ancient Egypt the poor lived in sun dried brick homes and after a few a years it would crumble and fall apart.But in our time we have a house that is made out of wood or rich clay, and when they were finished they would turn into master pieces, also we could store our cars.

purpose of having a house!

  • Plain out to live in it.
  • Farmers had two floors, one for living one for storing crops FOOD!
  • Not to get robbed, when living in streets you may get robbed.
  • Toilet, poor people would throw their waste into streets our sewage.
  • Who does not want to have a house, you get privacy.
The purpose of having a house was to live in it of course, but there were obviously something else to it. You see farmers had two stories one for storing crops which is smart and one for just living, you know the cooking , sleeping and having time with family. But the other main reason to have a house was not to get robbed because when your living in the streets of Egypt you could get robbed could will get robbed. But when you have a house people will just back off.Another reason was to have a bathroom because like I said in my other paragraphs poor people would throw there waste into a sewage or street and trust me you don't want to step in poop.

interesting features

  • The first hallway had a shrine and that's where they did there prayers.
  • Wife had a roofless kitchen and that's where she home-cooked meals.
  • Some houses have a downstairs and that's where that had rum.
  • Some people slept on one mattress, the rich had doubles.
  • One weird fact is that some poor people slept on their table.
Some interesting facts is their furniture they had a shrine at the main hallway. They had a staircase not a lot of houses had staircases only the rich. They had a roofless kitchen for the wife and she would cook home cooked meals. The downstairs is where they had painted and decorated stools and chairs and down there they would drink beer. When they went to sleep one person slept on a single mattress that time there were no doubles. Last reason is that they had to make their own furniture like stools and chairs. One weird fact is that the poor used their tables as a mattress.

legacy

  • They first slept on the floors. 
  • Once they started trading they had a surplus amount of materials. 
  • There first house was sun dried bricks and then they thought they could adv
  • So they did advance they built huge homes like this one.
  • Today were still building homes that are way bigger.
The history of this was simple. Before Egypt was big they did not have house, they basically slept on the floor. Once they started trading they started to have a bigger supply of materials. They first advanced into sun dried bricks and that's when the first house was built. Also that's when they thought hey if we could build that the possibility were endless. That's when they thought they could build a house with two stories or even have three with 30 rooms. Once farmers got into they could store crops. So then they thought NO MORE CRUMBLING HOMES!
