Family legacy for time immemorial fuve primary sources

Answer 1

Answer:

We know more about the Ancient Egyptians than any other ancient civilization.

Scribes of the Old Empire Tombs are major primary sources of information about Ancient Egypt. The Ancient Egyptians believed that death was not the end; there was an afterlife. This afterlife would be very much like this life. The deceased would still need food, drink, clothing and other necessities of ordinary life. Ancient Egyptians who could afford to do so

constructed tombs for themselves and placed many of their possessions inside. They wrote their own names and titles, and sometimes something about their characters, on the walls of their tombs, so that the living would be moved to pray for them. Knowing that thieves might break into their tombs and steal their provisions, the Ancient Egyptians also placed named images of these articles on the walls of their tombs. Their own bodies - mummified human remains or skeletons - are still often found in their tombs.
