Despite this myself and other women were among the first individuals to become brewers‚ physicians in ancient Mesopotamia before those occupations proved lucrative and were taken over by men. Whereas Women in Egypt are allowed to wed by the time they are twelve years old some girls are married by the age of fourteen. These ages are considered old enough to have children among my Egyptian society. Unfortunately

The Ancient Egyptians believed that when a pharaoh died he became “Osiris”‚ the king of the dead. They believed that for the dead pharaoh to carry out his duties as king of the dead his “ka” (soul or spirit) which remained with the body‚ had to be looked after.

The Role of Women in Ancient Greece and Egypt Throughout history‚ most societies held women in an inferior status compared to that of men. This was often justified as being the natural result of biological differences between the sexes. In many societies‚ for example‚ people believed women to be more emotional and less decisive than men. Women were also viewed to be less intelligent and less creative by nature. However‚ research shows that women and men have the same range of emotional‚ intellectual
