The Opposite Lives of the Rich and the Poor
The Rich
Housing
Nebamun was the accountant
The Poor
Housing
Many people lived in villages near or along the rivers or in the river delta. They built mudbrick, wood and reed homes because those building materials were inexpensive and could be found locally. Since their homes where near the river and were not build from strong materials, many were washed away when floods occurred or would crumble after several years of use causing the families that lived their rebuild frequently.
