The time differences between these kingdoms is so vast it’s hard to fathom. I realize that in my mind, Egyptian history is kind of uniform (Pharoahs, pyramids,dog statues, hieroglyphics, etc) up until Alexander takes over. But I’m sure there are massive differences - just look at how much European culture has changed in the last 1500 years, including multiple complete language shifts, multiple iterations of societal organization (feudalism, empires, democracies), music and art, etc.
What are some key cultural differences, or instance that might have made it hard from a person from the Old Kingdom to understand the New Kingdom?
There's always more to be said on the topic, but I wrote about this in a couple of previous posts.
