Yes. For example, King Tut died of an infected broken leg and lady Pharaoh Hatshepsut died of an abcessed tooth. Neither one was murdered.

The Ancient Egyptians believed that all of Egypt belonged to the gods, and that the pharaoh (ruler) was the representative of the gods.
They believed in many gods (polytheism).
They had a form of writing called hieroglyph.
The pyramids were built as tombs for the pharaohs.

Although Ancient Egyptians are portrayed as having dark skin (nowadays), it was actually a sign of royalty to have very pale skin, because it meant that they were never out in the sun doing manual labor. That's why its believed that the royal family was pale. To achieve this look, they would sometimes use a skin whitening mixture.

Cleopatra was the last in a line of non-Egyptians to rule Egypt. She was actually a GREEK! Well, she was actually a Macedonian, like Alexander the Great; a descendant of Alexander's general, Ptolemy.

Yes, it is home to the most ancient mystery on Earth, a mystery which has not yet been revealed. :O) A mystery which has little or nothing to do with Pharoahs. A "hidden" mystery greater than any of the Pharoahs gold, tombs or treasures so far discovered.

Most of the Pharaohs were of Greek linage.
When a pharaoh was interned in his tomb most of his entourage went with him.
Flooding of the Nile valley is natural phenomenon and is actively encouraged .
Olives found in some tombs have still been edible after a thousand years.

Good one George...I heard that ancient Egyptian priests plucked every single hair from their bodies, including pubic hair and eyebrows!
Did you know King Tut was 12 or some absurb age like that?

Sure;
- Egyptians considered their kinds (pharaoh) to be gods in human form that had to rule in order to maintain the balance of the world they lived in
- The sky was thought to be a giant ocean that the sun god Re, sailed across daily in a boat and fought his way back in a boat (fighting serpents) so he could rise each morning.

Approximately 80% of the population used opium regularly. Ancient Egyptians are responsible for domesticating the cat.
Most Egyptians kept their heads shaved and wore wigs because head lice was rampant.
