They almost never HAD leisure time. Usually, they did something productive that was less important. Women often did embroidery, or quilting, which was important, but not absolutely necessary to be done immediately. Men often worked with wood. Occasionally, usually on Sundays, a family would sing songs together and play instruments. This was reserved only for the Sabbath, when one was not allowed to work. Also, many would read scriptures. If they were very rich, they might read a fiction book, but that was extremely rare.

Howdy! :)\n\nFirstly, I'd like to say that I've never heard of the man-made stones "theory" before -- & I've read a good bit on the subject, as well as ancient history in general, as well as watched & listened to many TV & radio documentaries that dealt with the subject, as well as ancient history in general!\n\nActually, the ancient Egyptians employed different kinds of stone in building at least the Great Pyramid. They used limestone & 2 varieties of granite. There are several varieties, quite a few being the most durable on the planet. Rose stones & blue stones, that were used to build Stonehenge, are 2 of the varieties that come to mind.\n\nAs for method, a number have been suggested, none of which involving the wheel, because archaeologists & scientists etc. keep insisting that the ancient Egyptians didn't have them, have access to them or separately invent them. But I beg to differ. There was a long history of interaction between the various peoples of the region & the ancient Egyptians, even if they didn't separately invent the wheel, did have access to & could have easily bought or traded them from the other cultures with wheels that they regularly interacted with.\n\nWhat I'm pretty certain of is that they used gravity as an easy & reliable means of power. Meaning: imagine a portable forklift. If you're not familiar with this object, it's basically a rectangle of metal, with a tray or sheet of metal at the bottom attached to two wheels. What I'm convinced they did is that they used something similar: basically 2 boards of wood (they did have tables & so did have boards of wood & knew how to cut them from the tree or at least buy them!) one of which attached to 2 wheels (or at least a log) with one of them "sitting"/attached to the bottom one with the wheels vertically & at an angle. This one is further connected with X # of sticks/logs or a triangular board of wood angled down, this being attached to a wheel (or at least a log). When the stone is manoeuvred onto the bottom board, gravity pulls it down through the angled sticks/logs (had they not been there, gravity would've simply pulled the stone to the ground, making the board with the wheels upright, albeit at an angle, & the one the stone was leaning on on the ground!). Gravity is such a great force, it is more force than is necessary to move the stone. So there is plenty of momentum. & even if the sand provided a great amount of friction (regardless whether it was dry or wet), gravity, combined with human labour is more than enough to manoeuvre the stones from point A to point B.\n\nCreating ramps & using sand to support the stones is quite sufficient & effective to manoeuvre the stones to higher levels.\n\nEven if the scientific community could conclusively prove, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that the ancient Egyptians did not have wheels or access to them, the website I provided demonstrates an alternative means to manoeuvring large & heavy stones using building principles that are as old as building itself -- even if earlier in history people didn't understand & couldn't quantify & explain these principles & why they worked. The important thing was & still is that the principles work & that they are effective.\n\nWhat you will want to reflect on is this:\n\nThe ancient Egyptians had very simple tools, such as a level (used to determine the angle of a wall & whether or not it is straight) & thread or rope. & yet, they achieved unbelievable accuracy. In fact, & I wish I could remember where I read this or the temple in question, I once read of a temple in the Nile river. It was unique because it was built in such a way so as to glorify 2 events in the pharaoh's life: his birthdate & that of his son. The temple's unique qualities were that on those 2 days, at sunrise & sunset, the sun lined up with the pharaoh's throne & illuminate it in such a way as to give the illusion that he&#39

You should try to find African art books in your library. Most address the topic. If you find "Art and Craft in Africa" by Laure Meyer you will find a general overview of textiles and clothing. From the Ashanti try "African Majesty" by Peter Adler and Nicholas Barnard. Also "Weaving in Africa" by Karl-Ferdinand Schaedler.

The ancient Egyptians culture was a very advance civilization in many cases they had schools for there young people the did have religion and they had a political system that they charished a lot. The took crime as a serious thing and they also was masters of architecture. And the most important thing is that the developed a writing system which I think was created before the aztecs and mayans. They had a unique way of buring there dead which we use a similar process today.\n\nThere culture shaped the way modern civilization is today. We still use some of the things that they used over a thousand years ago and we use it today.

I don't think so.  Look into Egyptian mythology and see what the allure was to them.  I don't even think that the Egyptians thought that.

Exfoliants, depilatories, anti-wrinkle cream. Methods for the elimination of stretch-marks, halitosis and unpleasant body odors. Hair extensions. This all sounds pretty modern, doesn't it? It could perhaps be a list of advertisers from a fashion magazine on the newsstand on the street today. Yet all of the above were also concerns and creations of ancient Egypt.\n\nIn no other country or culture, was the concern with beautification and body care so extensive. Their interest in beauty transcends time- it is not restricted to a specific period. Cosmetic implements, particularly eye-makeup palettes, have been discovered in the earliest graves. Yet Cleopatra VII, last of the Ptolemies, was herself credited with writing a book of beauty secrets, an art that she was universally acknowledged as mastering. Vestiges of the ancient Egyptians' concerns with beauty and body care linger even today. Modern Egyptian glass perfume vials may be as treasured and coveted today as were the carved alabaster unguent pots of distant ages. American shampoo manufacturers tout Egyptian henna and the virtues of Aloe. Every few years, eye makeup styles based on those of ancient Egypt reemerge once again in popularity.\n\nEgyptian concerns with beauty and body care transcended economic status. Although many of the artifacts that we are able to analyze today derive from the upper classes- kohl tubes bearing the names of Nefertiti and her daughters have been found, for instance- body care was considered a prerequisite for all Egyptians. Records show that sufficient body oil for daily use was one of the basic supplied issued in the form of wages paid to even the lowliest workers. Cosmetics and body care were a common daily concern cutting across all society divisions, just as they do today.\n\nBody care was no triviality, but a central part of daily - and economic- life. Egyptians used body scents and incense (for fumigation of the body and clothing and medical as well as temple use) in tremendous quantities. Most of it had to be imported. After timber, the trade in cosmetics was perhaps the chief reason for Egyptian foreign commerce. Modern interest is piqued by Egyptian funerary practices and yes, many aromatic substances were necessary for the after-life and for religious practices, yet they also held many uses for the living.\n\nAncient Egyptian concerns with beauty and body care transcended gender lines. Women and men both used cosmetics and body oils. The need for skin protection and moisturizers in a hot, arid climate was perceived as necessary for both genders. Both sexes, of all classes, oiled their bodies regularly. Many of their ancient formulae remain to us: while some were obviously targeted towards women (there are several suggestions for the removal of stretch marks following pregnancy), the many suggestions for stimulating hair-growth and eliminating bald-spots were probably directed largely towards men.\n\nAncient Egyptian concerns with beauty and body care transcend their distance from us. The past may sometimes seem very remote to us- oh, it's interesting all right, even intellectually stimulating, yet we often feel removed from the past, all too aware of the distance of years and history and perceptions. It is hard to envision an area where history and people come alive more than in the study of ancient body care and beauty. No where is the bridge between humans more firm and sure. Egyptian concerns mirror our own. They, too, worried about weight gain and hair loss. An ancient manuscript is entitled The Beginning of the Book on How to Make the Old Young. A title like that could be a best-seller today. If we could time travel and speak to the individuals of long ago, the subject of body care would be easy common ground.\n\nOur extensive knowledge of the Egyptians' beauty regime can be credited to their burial customs and also to the arid climate which preserves artifacts so well. The earliest graves contain cosmetic impleme
