Ancient Egyptian Homes

Ancient Egyptians were very clever. They could make homes using
different materials. Write about:
- What did they use to build their homes?
- How was the furniture?
- Draw a picture of a home from Ancient Egypt.

In Ancient Egypt, many people made their homes near the

Nile. They used its water for drinking, cooking, and washing.
They also used mud from the river to make bricks for their
houses. The mud bricks made very strong walls. Many of
them didn’t have couches or armchairs. There were reed
mats to sit and sleep on. To keep their homes from insects,
they used papyrus to cover the windows and doors. Ancient
Egyptian homes were very special.
