Ancient Egypt
Location: an example is on the banks of the Nile, the river would flood making the land fertile. In the text it says that "the farmers went to work sowing barley and emmer wheat." Egyptians had to live near the Nile because more than 90% of Egypt consists of desert. (Hart 8)
Religion: The Egyptians of this Religion would worship many of the gods and goddesses, but sometimes they did not know who was who. The Sun God was the dominant deity in the Egyptian religion even though he could take many different forms. He could take the form of khepri a Scarab beetle and Re-Harakhty A Great Hawk Soaring through the sky. (Hart 24)
Architecture: The very first pyramid was for the burial of King Djoser in 2650 BCE.The pyramid rose in six stages, called the step pyramid, it was supposed to be for him to climb the stairs up to the Sun God. Some of the kings after King Djoser also had step pyramids, but a King named King Sneferu with sloping sides on his pyramid. (Hart 20)
Government:Egypt was the wealthiest country in the Ancient World, some of the gold from mines was sent abroad as gifts to foreign rulers. Some Princesses and some Manufactured goods were exchanged to the Pharaoh. There was an Important exchange post at Kerma. near the third cataract of the Nile. (Hart 40)
Art: Children Loved to play games back in the days involving physical activities like Leap Frog or Tug of War. There were toys from Dolls to Balls, and wax crocodiles, and if you throw them in the water they will turn into a real one. There are non-physical games like board games like snake and some other more complicated games.
Writing:The people in Egypt used a type of writing called Hieroglyphs, it was a form of picture writing that involved 700 different signs. They kept this writing complicated so not too many people were able to master it, scribes kept their special position. But scribes used a different type of writing called hieratic, it runs right to left then evolved to a faster script called demotic. (Hart 34)
