Ancient palace scene and papyrus culture In ancient Egypt, palaces were not only residences of the rulers but also centers for administration, ceremonies, and cultural exchange. Papyrus served as the most important writing material at that time: The Egyptians made it from the papyrus reed that grew along the Nile. A single sheet of papyrus could be about half a meter long and was then inscribed, rolled up, and often stored in baskets. Children from higher social classes received an education where they learned reading and writing – likely also on real papyrus rolls. Colors frequently found in Egyptian wall paintings include ochre red, yellow, cobalt blue, and a rich green. They symbolized elements such as the earth, the sun, the Nile, and life. When you color your picture, you can choose these traditional shades or try your own combinations. There's even more waiting for you at the end: Discover more coloring pages from the Ancient Egyptian Empire and deepen your knowledge about pyramids, pharaohs, and hieroglyphs.
