The nile file

Nakht-Amun- i lived between 5000 and 2000 years ago. im an ordianry person.
at school; . Scribes taught their own sons, and sometimes larger groups. Temples and palaces ran and taught their own classes – they were making the scribes of the future. School work was written in ink on pieces of broken stone or pottery (ostraca), or on wooden boards that could be cleaned and used again. Rich children started school when they were between five and ten years old. Older pupils punished younger ones for not doing their lessons. Very bad boys had their legs tied together to stop them running away. Children were also beaten.

at home;
My village was near the Valley of the Kings at Deir el-Medina. It was on a small hill so that we were above the annual Nile flood. Modern Egypt has dams so the Nile does not flood anymore.These houses are built from bricks but mine was made from river mud. Mud does not last so there are no houses left from my time. You know much more about ancient Egyptian pyramids and temples because they were made of stone and lasted longer
