A recent study of some aspects of ancient Egyptian life provided evidence that the ancients knew life with all its changes. Their messages to each other showed more anger and a sense of frustration.
The study carried out by Dr. Deborah Sweeney, Egyptologist at the University of Oxford, presented the inscriptions of an ancient Egyptian village that was inhabited by craftsmen and craftsmen and their families who worked in the tombs of the Pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings during the New Kingdom period (1550-1080 BC), according to the site .ancient. -origins, many related to the daily life of the ancient Egyptians.
The study material was documents, including personal letters, lawsuits, prayer texts, texts of ancient Egyptian literature and thousands of papyri, ”which revealed surprising insights into ordinary matters, people's religious beliefs, marriages, daily life, and medical treatment.
And what the study showed, the presence of messages it described as annoying or angry that many friends sent to each other.
In one of the letters, a person called "Nakhsabak" writes to a worker called "Amnacht" asking him, "What offense did you do against you? Aren't I your old eating companion?"
It seems that Amnacht was “unfair” the writer, and worse still, he is trying to expel him from the village, and it seems that the two men had a great disagreement between them, but we will never know the reasons for expelling you or if he was actually expelled.
