Location: Ancient egypt was along the Nile River. I know this because in the text, it says ¨ the Egyptians lived on the banks of the Nile River or beside canals extending from it.¨ In the text, it also says ¨ The ancient Egyptians lived on a stip of land on either side of the Nile, where the Nile flood made then land fertile.¨ Both of these pieces say that they lived along the Nile River. (Hart 8)
religion: The author wrote that the Egyptians worshiped many gods and goddesses, so many it was hard to work out who. On page 24, it says" Many of the gods are represented by animals: a baboon might stand for Thoth, a god of wisdom, at one temple, and a Moon god named Honshu at another". (Hart 24)

I know this because in the text it said "Scribes had to be experts in writing hieroglyphs, an elaborate form of picture-writing with about 700 different signs. The text also said "Hieroglyphs were used on state monuments, templates, tombs, and religious papyri. (Hart 34)
architect:In Ancient Egypt people lived in brick homes. I know this because in the text it said "Houses in Ancient Egypt were built from bricks made from the Nile mud."
