Ancient Egyptian Women had more rights than many women today
Advertisements [?]
After my recent trip to the Tut exhibit in Chicago, I was re-reading over some books that I had regarding ancient Egypt and to this day I find it stunning that the Egyptians were so ahead of their time in regard to women's rights.

The Romans and Greeks get credit for a great deal and yet they had no respect for women...the Greeks were the worst in many regards.

One has to wonder....what is wrong with humanity that women have for centuries been treated like pets, breed animals or worse.
