The Creepy Things That Were Normal In Ancient Egypt

Welcome Back To Ancient History,
Ancient Egypt is one of the most fascinating places in the historical record. Their obsession with life after death, their grand pyramids and golden treasures, and the multitudes of evidence they left behind of their great works have captured the imaginations of people for thousands of years. However, underneath the veneer of mysticism and historical grandeur, Ancient Egypt was not always the most fun place in the world to live. Their justice system was often unfair and cruel, some of their medical practices were horrifying, and their devotion to the gods often went to insane lengths.

In the eyes of quite a few people, ancient Egypt could be a bit creepy. As per History, most scholars agree that ancient Egypt "began" when the fractured lands around the Nile River were united around 3100 B.C.E. and ran, with a couple of significant interruptions, until a Macedonian named Alexander the Great strolled into town with conquering on his mind in 332 B.C.E.

However you put it, that's a lot of time for a civilization to develop a set of increasingly complicated beliefs, some of which may put modern folk in an uneasy state.
