Abstract

Agriculture and the use of animals played an important role in the life of the ancient Egyptians, whether in terms of direct benefit from animal parts or labor or for protection. Thus, Egyptians assigned a large area of the images of walls of tombs to animals and agriculture. It is likely that these were thought to continue in the next world. Scenes of an agricultural or pastoral nature in tombs have drawn attention due to the ingenuity and the extreme accuracy of their depiction in these scenes, resembling a silent documentary film on the walls. This paper uses scenes from ancient Egyptian tombs to survey and describe agricultural practices in the daily life from the Old Kingdom until the beginning of the Greek rule. Qualitative and quantitative methods are employed throughout this study. Ancient and modern pastoral and agricultural methods and techniques are studied with a range many research methods, including descriptive, analytical, and comparative ones, and comparison shows that to a large extent, modern communities have maintained many ancient customs and traditions to construct their identity. This paper shows a continuity in cultural heritage in daily life from ancient times, differing mainly in the increasing use of technology.
