2 What was daily life like in Egypt?
They were not in love with death but in love with life. They worked very hard, but saved time with family, friends, music, parties, swimming, fishing, hunting, sailing, and especially their children. If a couple could not have kids, they would adopt a child because they children were the heart of the family.

3 Following of daily life
Children were taught to be kind and honest, respect their parents, to help with the business, and to help them take care of their elders in their family. The only way your heart would light is if you had spent a lifetime being kind. Everyone from the pharaoh on down who made or lost their temper, made it up by doing good deeds to balance the scale.

If they were broke and no money they would put there relatives in the sun to let them mummify naturally. Egyptians believed that if that a mummy was stolen or destroyed, their sprit would not be able to return to their mummified body at night they would disappear forever, no longer able to dwell in there afterlife. Adding a curse or two scare robbers into leaving their mummy alone was probably a common practice,
