Egyptian
cattle were used for many things. They could pull
plows for the Egyptian people. They also trampled
the ground to make it ready for the Egyptians to
plant crops. There was a legend about a special
bull that was black with unusual markings. When a
bull fitting the description was found he was
sacrificed to the gods. This ceremony didn't happen
often due to the fact it was incredibly hard to
find a bull that fit the description! Cattle
(special looking or not) were some of the main
farming animals for the Egyptian
people. Bull The
Egyptians used donkeys to transport the wheat from
the field in pouches on their backs to the markets
where they turned the wheat into food. Donkeys were
very important for the Egyptians. Donkeys were also
useful for everyone, for they were useful pack
animals and could be used to carry its owner's
posessions. Honeybees
were very imprtant for Egyptian life. Normal food
was very plain, but when the Egyptians added honey
to their food it sweetened up. Honey bees added a
sweet taste to the drab Egyptian food. Mostly the
Egyptians ate bread. This bread had lots of sand
inside so when the Egyptains ate bread their teeth
would slowly file down. Most Egyptian mummies have
filed down teeth from their bread. Honeybees |
