Answer by  ChristalB (26)

Most ancient Egyptian people were farmers tied to the land and the Nile river. They lived in single family dwellings made of mud brick to help keep out the heat. Most ancient Egyptians valued hygiene and personal appearance. They used soaps made from animal fat and chalk, ointments, and perfumes. Upper classes wore cosmetics and jewelery.
