Bread is called in most Arab countries "khobz." But in Egypt, it is called "Eish," meaning living.The ancient Egyptian bread was known by a number of ancient Egyptian names and it also took a large number of shapes, including round, triangle, hexagonal, etc. Rather, it took forms of pies and pastries that took the forms of animals and birds. Indeed, bread is considered one of the most basic features of life that expresses ancient Egyptian culture and civilization. This is what Prof. Dr. Iman Muhammad al-Mahdi, emeritus professor of ancient Egyptian history and civilization, Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Sadat City University, will talk about on Monday 13 March 2023 in The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo, Egypt.
