As we have learned about Ancient Egypt, we have learned about many things that we still use today which were used, or forerunners were used, by the Ancient Egyptians. Some of the words we use today have come to us from Ancient Egypt. For example, the word "luxury" has come to mean anything grand or extravagant. This is because the temples and buildings of Ancient Luxor were grand and extravagant, and the word has come down to us today.
