Answer 1

Ancient Egypt?
I guess you mean the ancient Egyptian civilization. If so, here are some hints:

* They had adobe style hosues, which crumbled if not repaired, thus most vanished.
* They built stone temples of great beauty.
* They burried their dead in tombs of bricks, in mountain caves (Pharaohs), or in the sand (poor people).
* They were obsessed with pleasing the dead, which obviously shows a fear that the dead would take revenge if they would not cater to them.
* They supplied their dead with all they would need in life, although it was meant for the afterlife: food, ladders to get to the other worlds, servants, furniture etc., whatever the family could afford.
* They preserved the body by sophisticated means, when they could aford it, believing that the body needed to be preserved to save the soul.
* They obviously cooked in volted clay pots, the type of which are now called Roman Pots and sold in Germany and other countries. The taste of food thus cooked is exquisit.
* They had a multi-gods religious system
* They tended not to remove the old gods, but rather combine the old god with a new one, like Amen-Ra.
* They had head rests, which seem uncomfortable to us.
* The rich were wearing artful wigs.
* They had beautiful and artful jewelry
They gave parties with beer and wine, fruits, sitting on elegant chairs, the style was later called Chippendale (after an English carpenter who imitated the Egyptian style).
* The country had two regions, te North (Delta) and the South (mountains).
* The agriculture was determined by the yearly rising of the Nile, which brought mud to fertilize the fields, but also flooded the land so that property borders had to be redetermined every year. This advanced math.
* The Egyption art showed the head in profile, the eye and shoulders as if seen from the front, and the legs seen from the side.
* They did not wear wool but linen, probably because wool smells bad.
* They were concerned about a good smell, and prayers said, "let not my body stink."
* They had cones of scented wax ont heir heads at parties, making the hair or wig smell good.
* Their king was the Pharaoh, but the clergy took over more and more.
* Their body type was vegetarian to start with, wit long arms and legs, slander and with big eyes. But they got into eating meat, obviously.
* They adored the bull.
* They are said to have built the pyramids, yet, these may be much much older than the Egyptian culture.
* They had brown skin, but were not black Africans.
* It was a spiritual culture with knowledge of our sacred energies like Kindalini, Chakras, Aura and Spirit Gate. Their symbols tell the story.
