In Ancient Egypt, they had craftsmen, doctors, lawyers, engineers, military leaders who were trained as scribes, and priests who were the teachers at the schools. Most Ancient Egyptians were farmers. Ancient Egyptians learned to domesticate animals such as cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, ducks, geese, and pidgeons. Bees were also domesticated as they provided wax and honey. They also kept dogs, cats and monkeys for pets. Lions were always reserved for royalty.
Ancient Egypt traded with their neighbours to the east to obtain goods they couldn't produce themselves like wood. They exchanged jewellery and cloth with their neighbours to the south for wild animals, leopard skins, giraffe tails, ostrich eggs, and plants for making perfume. They also trade with the people of Western Africa and the island of Crete for bronze, items of gold, and ceramic pottery. The Ancient Egyptians also traded for myrrh used in medicines, perfumes, and incense and imported animal skins, ivory, gold, and monkeys from the kingdom of Punt. They endded up building ships and boats to improve their trade.
