Despite all the shortcomings mentioned above, it is true that life in ancient Egypt was already very comfortable.

In several other civilized regions of the same era, many city-states in the two river basins were all soldiers, fighting wars year after year, slaughtering and burning countless cities, and the ethnic groups living in them were really changing one stubble after another, and there was not a day of peace; The ancient Indian civilization was first flooded for many years and then invaded by the Aryans, barely supporting for several centuries, and Zuihou simply came to a genocide plus the collapse of civilization and degenerated into a primitive tribe; The Minoan civilization of Crete was located at sea, and may have had easier access to seafood than the Egyptians, but foreign wars were also more frequent, and countless people were killed in seafaring expeditions every year, and eventually destroyed by volcanic eruptions and tsunamis......

As for the Xia and Shang dynasties in China, not only was the most civilized among the major civilizations of that era, but they lacked magnificent buildings, not to mention that the Shang kings lived in thatched houses, and they were even more a disaster in terms of humanitarianism - according to the oracle bone inscriptions, the famous queen of the woman slaughtered tens of thousands of prisoners of war at one time to sacrifice to the gods, and the total number of Chinese at that time was less than 4 million, which was really comparable to the Aztecs in Central America in the future...... Although the Egyptians occasionally sacrificed with living people, they generally only killed a few people at a time, and the probability of bad luck as soon as the traveler arrived at the place was much lower.

Before the conquest by the Persian Empire, there was only one foreign conquest (Hyksos) and two large-scale civil strife (two "intermediate periods") in the 2,500 years of independent transmission of Egyptian civilization. The Nile River, which floods regularly every year, brought the Egyptians fertile land and a steady harvest of grain, with far fewer natural disasters than elsewhere.

However, even in Egypt, where living conditions were most comfortable in ancient times, daily life was still so devastating, and even more so in other places...... Heroines of Jinjiangwen, please remember that the novel is romantic, but the reality is cruel, don't be fooled by the romantic ballad of "love before the Western Era", and rashly embark on this road of no return through the ancient Middle Eastern civilization!
