在尼罗河畔劳作一天后,埃及人通常用玩桌游的方式娱乐身心,而且游戏类别还多种多样,有“盘蛇图”、“狗和豺”等。其中最受欢迎的要数以运气取胜的“赛尼特”,这种游戏可追溯至公元前3500年,需要一个画着30个格子的长桌,每个玩家都有一套棋子,然后根据执骰子或抛木棍来走棋。关于“赛尼特”的游戏规则,各史学家众说纷纭,不过没有任何人质疑它受欢迎的程度,证据就是涅弗尔塔里王后玩“赛尼特”的场景出现在了画作中,甚至连法老图坦卡蒙的墓室里都有玩“赛尼特”的长桌。
4. Egyptian women had a wide range of rights and freedoms.
古埃及女性享有广泛的权利与自由
While they may have been publicly and socially viewed as inferior to men, Egyptian women enjoyed a great deal of legal and financial independence. They could buy and sell property, serve on juries, make wills and even enter into legal contracts. Egyptian women did not typically work outside the home, but those who did usually received equal pay for doing the same jobs as men. Unlike the women of ancient Greece, who were effectively owned by their husbands, Egyptian women also had the right to divorce and remarry. Egyptian couples were even known to negotiate an ancient prenuptial agreement. These contracts listed all the property and wealth the woman had brought into the marriage and guaranteed that she would be compensated for it in the event of a divorce.
