People in Ancient Egypt married young. The boys were usually 15 and the girls were about 12. Most people died in their forties, so their lives were short.

Young people chose their partenr and wrote love songs to one another. The earliest love songs in the world come from Egypt. Although marriages were not arranged, parents and friends tried to ensure that boys and girls form similar homes and backgrounds met one another.

Egypt today is a very different country.
But many of the earlier writings and drawings have been preserved, so we have an excellent idea of what it was like to grow up in such an ancient civilization.
