Egyptian Dynasties

Ancient Egyptian history is divided into 30 dynasties (3100 BC - 332 BC). A dynasty is a series of rulers belonging to the same family. Egypt's pre-dynastic era lasted until 3100 BC when the country was united and the dynasties began to rule. The last pharaoh was Cleopatra VII Philopator of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. She ruled from 51 BC - 12 BC.

[EGYPT 29518] 'Hathor headed columns in Dendera.' The columns in the outer hypostyle hall (or pronaos) of the Hathor Temple at Dendera are crowned by four-sided capitals carved with the face of the cow-eared goddess. The faces symbolize the four cardinal points of the universe and stress the universal character of the sky goddess Hathor, who was also called "Lady with the four Faces". The square structure that is placed on top of the actual face is a sistrum, a ritual musical instrument.

Do You Eat Like An Egyptian?
Many years ago and even to this day any meat, fish, and poultry that weren't eaten after being freshly cleaned were put into storage. They were sprinkled with a lot of salt then stored in the coolest place they could find. The salt helps to preserve the food for a couple extra days.

Ancient Egyptian Sundial Discovered at Valley of the Kings - Live Science, article by Jeanna Brynor.
The ancient Egyptians experienced the same wide array of disease that people do in the present day, but unlike most people in the modern era, they attributed the experience to supernatural causes. The common cold, for example, was prevalent, but one's symptoms would not have been treated with medicine and bed rest, or not these alone, but with magical spells and incantations. The Ebers Papyrus (dated to c. 1550 BCE), is the longest and most complete medical text extant.
