the lesser royal family members and the wealthy noblemen
who served the king. One of Egypt’s richest archaeological sites
is the Memphis cemetery of Saqqara, not far from the major
pyramids at Giza, where the nobles of the Sixth Dynasty were
buried. From decorations inside their mastabas, we can learn
much about the daily life and the natural history of ancient
Egypt. We see men fishing and catching birds in the marshes,
and others hunting antelopes in the desert. They also show
women dancing, children playing with pets, people mourning
at funerals, craftsmen making jewelry and pottery, and farmers
harvesting barley.
