“Along with King Tut, perhaps no figure is more famously associated with ancient Egypt than Cleopatra VII. But while she was born in Alexandria, Cleopatra was actually part of a long line of Greek Macedonians originally descended from Ptolemy I, one of Alexander the Great\u2019s most trusted lieutenants,” \u00a0according to History.com<\/p>\n

“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,” according to History.com<\/p>\n

Unlike the women of ancient Greece, who were effectively owned by their husbands, Egyptian women also had the right to divorce and remarry, History.com states.<\/p>\n

After a long day\u2019s work along the Nile River, Egyptians often relaxed by playing board games. Several different games were played, including \u201cMehen\u201d and \u201cDogs and Jackals,\u201d but perhaps the most popular was a game of chance known as \u201cSenet,” \u00a0according to History.com<\/p>\n
