2/ Egyptians tombs contained magical objects & equipment to ensure the deceased's rebirth in the Afterlife. Models of tools, food offerings & ritual implements assisted the dead. In the Middle Kingdom, models of buildings, ships, and scenes of daily life like this granary model
3/ Here is Tutankhamun's granary model. He also had this model mill & stone to grind grain, although he never did such labor in life

2/ Lots of sun in Egypt, but at night & inside buildings ancient Egyptians relied on oil lamps. Houses had a few small windows in living rooms, other rooms were dark. Also dark in the inner sanctums of temples. This oil lamp on a stand is from tomb of Kha at Deir el-Medina.
3/ Scene from tomb of Pashedu at Deir el-Medina showing oil lamps in clay cups with double wicks. Left held by Udjat-eye & right by Pashedu. They lift lamps to illuminate Osiris sitting between them. twisted flax wicks coated in animal fat & sitting in oil worked like candles
