He was the god of the dead who presided over the divine tribunal during which the righteousness of the deceased was judged. The deceased sought intimate fellowship with him after death, wishing to join his retinue, become a part of his following, and even unite with the god himself. The Egyptians worshipped him fervently, making it part of their daily lives to worship him. ]]> 2023-02-09 07:56:00 UTC https://padlet.com/pitifultemporarycapital/vcq9u3wpng5e1z18/wish/2474627141 https://padlet.com/pitifultemporarycapital/vcq9u3wpng5e1z18/wish/2474628858 These are the tomb-bearers of Akhethotep, which depict the domestic scenes of life in 1500 BC. For example, these include farm work, hunting in the marshes (duck and fish) and the funeral of Akhethotep, meals and festivities and metaphorical images of boating down a river which allude both to his journeys in real life, and to his voyage on the waters of the dead which were to accompany him forever, on the wall. These were all written using Egyptian hieroglyphics.]]> 2023-02-09 07:57:45 UTC https://padlet.com/pitifultemporarycapital/vcq9u3wpng5e1z18/wish/2474628858 https://padlet.com/pitifultemporarycapital/vcq9u3wpng5e1z18/wish/2474644049 During this period of 1500-1069 BC, Egypt's first professional army expanded the Egyptian empire to its greatest extent. The growth and expansion of this empire brought unprecedented prosperity. 

The wealth of ancient artefacts in and written texts preserved in this era, including the interaction with other diverse cultures, helped to introduce new words into the Egyptian language of hieroglyphics, new gods to their beliefs, and new styles to their fashion.]]> 2023-02-09 08:12:16 UTC https://padlet.com/pitifultemporarycapital/vcq9u3wpng5e1z18/wish/2474644049 https://padlet.com/pitifultemporarycapital/vcq9u3wpng5e1z18/wish/2474648146 In conclusion, daily life in Egypt was bustling, from tribute and trade flowing in from surrounding vassal states, to great monuments like pyramids being constructed by master craftsmen.
