What was important to them was their religion because they believed that the gods/goddesses have the ability to change the Egyptians luck. They believed that their success was thanks to the gods and that the gods would protect people for life events. Some people even had amulets to ward evil spirits away from them. The way people communicate was by using hieroglyphs and the 2 types of hieroglyphs were demotic(used for writing documents) and hieratic(used for everyday information). Later, the people forgot about the language until the Egyptians were conquered by the French. The french found a slab of stone called the Rosetta Stone that was wrote in 3 different languages(including hieroglyphs) and became a dictionary for hieroglyphs but still couldn’t decipher how it sounds.

The ancient Egyptians impacted our way of life today by burying people. This impacted us because we found those people and we would not have known if they even existed if we had not found those remains. One myth that explains the life style of the ancient Egyptians is the creation myth. This myth explains that the first leader of the ancient Egyptians was pharao and they continued that on.
