i mean women weren't treated that much better in either place
but I choose greece, but not athens, sparta


I'm bored and need to finish a world history project

Agree with you-I think Egypt would probably be really bad for me because of my religious beliefs.

I didn't even think of that, but I agree nowww
Buddhists would not be welcome, I don't think

As a woman, in Ancient Egypt
Women had far more rights in Ancient Egypt, like owning property, objects and real estates
They didn't need a male guardian

Many women in Ancient Greek weren’t even allowed to leave their house, except when it was necessary (like for housework)
They also didn't attend any social gatherings, except when a male guardian was with them
Women obviously had no belongings, everything was owned by their husbands or a male family member

It's misconception that women in Ancient Greek were treated better, but their lives basically belonged to a man

it depends on if you lived in or near athens, or in or near sparta
women in sparta were aloud to own land, and they were seen as leaders (when men were away, though)
but in athens their only purpose was to please the husbands, unfortunatly

Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece's religion were polytheistic

That's true, but Sparta always had their own laws and acted independently

I depends mostly on time frame, and location

but Greece might be a bit more pleasant to live in.

The ancient Achaemenid/ Persian empire definitely sounds the best

Ancient Greece because I love Greek mythology.
