How did they pay money?
The ancient Egyptians did not use money in itself, but they were trafficked for other goods though they were thinking of cash.
In-text dating back to the era of Ramses V (the 20th Family), we have a small oxachta recorded how to push the priest for a curve price (obviously the coffin was a cheap price):
“A list of all the priest” Nefer – Habb “to the” Miri “galaxy for his human beings: 3 widgets of wheat, 1 large curtain basket, 1 shirt linen woven, 2 small basket maiden double bid, 1 mat, 1 basket medium size”.
“A silver list paid in the cemetery” Hori “,
Several 1 coffin of Athemic wood 80 (fat), decoration and paint 65 copper dank, mummy mask tied 20 DBD.
So in exchange for (batch introduction) 1 ox equivalent to 100 DBS.
It remains a number one heavy robe of good rewards 20 DBD. And … (?) Requires 37 Dban, cover for bedding (millions) equivalent to 8 Dban.”
In another text:
“What paid” Nefer – Abbe “to the painter” Ra – Hasta “swaps for a wooden slaughter, some soft milles and melodies by equivalent 3 Sino (silver = 30 Dbn Nahas), 1 book” Bert-M-Horn “decorated equivalent to 1 Dabban (Silver = 90 Denny Nahas) and three kilos sesame oil, and what gives him massively in the form of an extended body, the paper of the papyrus of the book “Bert-M-Hro” is not decorated with a tie 3 year (silver = 30 Dbn Nahas).
