Egypt was a very fertile place. Most people were farmers and craftsmen. The Nile's floods gave very clayey soil.The Egyptians were one of the first people to start farming. When Egypt started farming they began to have a surplus of food. Most houses were made out of mud bricks. People fished alot especially knowing tht the Nile River flows through Egypt.
Egypt is a very dry place because of this Egyptians could only eat certain types of food. They turned wheat into bread,soup and porridge.They added hops to turn it into beer. Egyptians ate alot of meat they could go to the butcher shop and buy meat. Egyptians didn't eat pigs because they thought pigs were dirty and they carried leprosy. For desserts they ate dates(to the left). Scientist have found seeds so Egyptians may have grew watermelons and other melons.
