How the ancient egyptians built their homesIn ancient Egypt people built their homes from sun dried bricks made from mud and straw. The ancient Egyptians used molds to make bricks. That made the Egyptians make many bricks at a time, and dry them in the sun. The noble had big homes that were by the Nile. Their homes were painted white to keep them cool. These homes were very big and could have as many as 30 rooms.
The common people also built their own homes. They were much smaller than the noble homes. The flat roof’s of the houses was the important area where the commoners have they ate their meal and would often sleep on mats. |
