The popular image of Anciet Egyptian society is that of a pyramid, on which top is the pharaoh, under him the administation, priesthood, military commanders and on the bottom is presented the ordinary people. This picture is in general correct, but heavy simplified. The Ancient Egypt had been a civilisation with full flesh and blood, a society consisting of living and life-loving individuals with wishes and dreams similiar to our own. Our knowledge about this society cannot be precise and detailed wihout understanding of such different and important aspects as wars and warfere, economics, trade, urban and village communities, law and social order. The private aspects as everyday life, the family and gender roles, household activities and entertainment must be not neglected in any case.
