- Apart from pyramids Egypt is known for the Sphinx, their picture writings called hieroglyphics, papyrus paper, pottery, jewelry and much more.
- The kingdom came to the end 2500 yrs after it was formed as many enemies invaded them and they lost control over their land
The Ancient Egyptians had one of the world’s greatest and oldest civilizations. The Nile River played a great role in making Egypt a great country. Egypt is mostly a desert but because of the river’s water and good soil, they were able to grow food.
They also built cities, temples, pyramids and other amazing works. They also invented a method of writing and made important discovery in medicine, math and science.
- In 3100 B.C, Egypt became a kingdom under the first Pharaoh called Menes.
- The pharaoh was treated like a god. He was the High priest, chief judge and the commander of the army.
- One strange fact I discovered was was that pharaohs usually married thier sisters, so that their son could become the next pharaohs!!
- Egyptians also had many gods and goddesses, and they believed in life after death.
- When a person died, their body was embalmed and wrapped into a mummy. If they were the pharaoh or the royal family, they were buried in tombs
called PYRAMIDS. These tombs also had food, jewelry, weapons for afterlife. - Many of these pyramids and tombs were robbed, but in the 1920’s, Pharaoh Tutankhamen or King Tut’s tomb was found with his mummy and many treasures.
- Apart from pyramids Egypt is known for the Great Sphinx, their picture writings called hieroglyphics, papyrus paper, pottery, jewelry and much more.
- The kingdom came to the end 2500 yrs after it was formed as many enemies invaded them and they lost control over their land

perspective:
I think that the Pharaoh must have lived a really long and royal life. Must have thought that he was so lucky to live a life like that because not many people live a life the way the Pharaoh did. the people who worshiped him also must have been very proud of him because they had a very great Pharaoh who used to take good care of them.

Ancient Egypt was ruled by Pharaohs. Pharaohs were very strong and rich people. Acording to the Egyptain culture when the Pharaohs were dead they their were buried along with the teasure in a tomb. This might a caused the egyptains to get ruined and lost the name that they named the countries. One of the great Pharaohs who died in his youth was King Tut.

The ancient Egyptians had a great culture. They created things like pyramids, the Sphinx, hieroglphics writing,papyrus paper ,and so on.
They changed the world by making important buildings and discoveries.
They were a powerful kingdom and were very rich and intelligent people.
Today everyone knows about Egyptian culture because it is so interesting and wonderful.

I think the change was that before people didnt have tombs and pyramids but now people discover them. It changed the course of history by like they can keep olden days stories. The perspective of the tourisms might think that this is o interesting but the pharos in before might think that they are going to have lots of money and tresure in their next life.
