Abstract
In all periods, the family is the basic unit of society. The people of
Ancient Egypt highly valued family life. The family consists of the
husband, wife and their children, the extended family of lineal
relations such as grandparents and grandchildren and collateral
relations such as brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and
cousms.
The family was the core of Egyptian society. Even the Egyptian gods
were divided into families. Many genealogical lists indicate how
important family ties are. In the Ancient Egyptian society, the father
was the pillar of the Egyptian family next to the role of the women
and its unique ctatus, where men and women’ ad roles that completed
each other’s in society.
There is no doubt, the family scenes of Ancient Egyptians reflected
the tomb owner’s desire of being joined with his family members who
were shown in his tomb, in his afterlife, and this close and loving
relationship formed the basis of a stable social order which was a
feature of Ancient Egyptian civilization.
Therefore, the family relationships were greatly dealt with through
the family representations on the walls of the tombs. A typical family
structure in Ancient Egypt would be similar to what we find in today’s
Egypt.
