Birthday celebrations have a long history, dating back to ancient civilizations. The Egyptians were among the first to recognize birthdays, though their celebrations were more about honoring a pharaohs rise to power than marking their actual birth. The Greeks later introduced birthday cakes, offering moon-shaped pastries with candles to pay tribute to Artemis, the goddess of the moon. Today, birthdays are celebrated worldwide in various ways.
