What was their sanitation like?
Just like modern day societies, for any civilization it is very important for sanitation standards to be high. In ancient Egypt they did not have access to the modern day technologies that we have now. Some of this modern day technology being we have automatic water purifier we also have the ability to flush the toilet to be able to dispose of our waste. In the ancient times they were unable to properly dispose of waste or have completely purified water. In homes the way of staying clean would be when people would stand in a dented floor and would have water poured over them, this is how their showering worked in the homes of ancient Egypt. Some basic sanitation was handled in the homes but it has been shown that many people did bathe in the river Nile, this was poor because a very large majority did collect water from there to drink. This did cause sicknesses as the water would not be clean and could contain parasites.
