Columbia Space Shuttle Disaster. On February 1, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia was returning from its 28th mission when, 16 minutes to touchdown, the shuttle incinerated and broke apart over Texas. Communication between the Columbia crew and Mission Control captures the last moments of the flight.
Women in ancient Egypt had a great many rights. They were not equal with men but they quite a lot of say over their lives. Women who broke the law faced the same penalties as men, and were expected to defend themselves in court just like men. Women did not have to marry in ancient Egypt. They could refuse an offer of marriage. But most women who married were about 12-14 years old. Women brought a dowry with them into the marriage. (A dowry is some type of wealth in land or cattle or goods.)
Egyptian Clothing For Women. Egyptian women wore full length straight dresses with one or two shoulder straps. During the New Kingdom period it became fashionable for dresses to be pleated or draped. The dresses worn by rich Egyptian women were made from fine transparent linen. Like the men, rich Egyptian women decorated their clothes and wore jewellery and headdresses. Children. Ancient Egyptian children did not wear clothes until they were about six years old when they would wear the same clothes as men and women. Footwear The Ancient Egyptians went barefoot most of the time but wore sandals for special occasions or if their feet were likely to get hurt.
