Description
So I made a poll yesterday and apparently people wanted to see some of Ancient Egypt. And here you all go. A peaceful scene of ancient egyptian peasants carving in the harvest. Most likely supposed to take place during the Old Kingdom-perion around 3050–2686 BC.Related content

Moses was after all, according to the Old Testament, adopted by Egyptians but that was the Pharao's family.
But I think that was more during the New Kingdom and not the Old Kingdom since slaves were used first around the time of the New Kingdom.

Bread - both the most common and the most valuable of foods between about 10.000 BC to about 1850 AD.
