History

Wedding rings have been exchanged in marriage ceremonies since the Ancient Egyptians.  The Egyptians believed that the circle was the symbol of eternity.  The Romans continued the tradition and believed that the ring symbolized fidelity and was associated with the dowry.  An alternative in the United States that is becoming popular is having a tattoo on your left ring finger.  This is not a widespread custom around the world.

In ancient Egyptian civilization the women were not given any rights.<br><br> True<br> False
ss7ja [257]

This statement is actually false. Records indicate that, unlike women from other major ancient societies, such as Greece, their rights were nearly the same as the men's rights, and they could even rule the country - Hatshepsut and Nefertiti were exceptional Egyptian rulers. Although most non-elite women did not hold jobs outside the home, they could, for example, work as weavers, perfume makers and entertainers, they could be seen with men in public, they could remarry and divorce, they could sign contracts, they could own a business, they could own, acquire and dispose of property, and they could appear in court as witnesses.
