AI Video from prompt: The first birthday story is from ancient Egypt.
Sora 2: The first birthday story is from ancient Egypt. When someone became a pharaoh, people said the pharaoh was a god. The coronation date was very important, maybe more than the birthday. The Bible mentions the pharaoh’s coronation day. This is thought to be the first birthday celebration. Egyptian birthday cakes and candles were not common. The Greeks started the idea of birthdays for gods and goddesses, not for ordinary people. They honored the moon goddess Artemis with moon-shaped cakes and candles. The candles stood for the light of the moon and started a long tradition. The first people to celebrate a human birthday were the Ancient Romans. Roman women’s birthdays were not celebrated at first (the first record of a woman’s birthday is in the 12th century), but men’s birthdays were celebrated every year. The government even made public holidays for famous and important people. For a long time, Christians thought birthday parties were evil and many people avoided them. Later, they began to celebrate Jesus’ birthday at Christmas. With the church’s help, birthday parties became more common. Germans found a sweet way to celebrate children's birthdays: birthday cake. In the 1700s, Germans had “Kinderfeste,” and birthday cake was very important. Not just any cake: cakes with candles. Each child got a cake with one candle for every year they had lived, plus one more to wish for another year. When blowing out the candles, the child made a wish, as we do today. In the past, cakes were not always sweet. Sugar and tasty ingredients were very expensive, so fancy cakes were for rich people. When the Industrial Revolution began in the late 1700s, sugar became cheaper and more people could bake or buy birthday cakes.
