"Happy Valentine's Day ❤ The Heart in Ancient Egypt 🫀 The heart was not just a physical organ in Egyptian culture but was seen as the repository of ones moral life.

Ones heart ( ib) was therefore considered the centre of intelligence and emotion. It was also thought to hold ones memories making it crucial during the"

"In Ancient Egypt women held a remarkable position of respect and influence compared to many other ancient societies. They could own property run businesses and participate in legal matters including divorce and inheritance. Noblewomen sometimes held significant political power with rulers like Hatshepsut and Nefertiti even ruling as pharaohs. Daily life for most women revolved around family and household duties but they were also active in religious practices as priestesses. Despite the patriarchal structure Ancient Egyptian women enjoyed a level of autonomy and rights that was exceptional"
