Videos on Egypt

Video 1: Egyptian leader son has a son that set camp the base of the Pyramid. Came with a bunch of his people so that he could get inside and get the dead pharaohs treasure. They had to look for a certain rock to open the door of the pyramid. Opening the door leads to a winding passage that leads to the grave. There was many different rooms and passages inside the pyramid and there was no treasure inside.

Video 2: They told us about Heraclities. Then they showed us the step by step process of rapping a mummy. The way they rapped him was different than most.

Video 3: John Green told us about Egyptians ways on basins and irrigation, sail boats with food transport.  Egyptians where berried with their things so they could use them in the afterlife. 

5 AMAZING INEVENTIONS IN EGYPT

1.   One of the more obvious ones are the Pyramids. They are one of the most amazing and different structures on the face of this Earth. Inside the pyramids are so many crazy passage ways and rooms. 

2.   Eye makeup is one of the best inventions that the Egyptians made to me. They wore eye make up all the time. Even the men wore it. It was just so great that everyone wanted to have it. The Pharaohs wore it the most. 

3.   Egyptians started writing message and stories on their walls. They would have their own little stories about how there people would work and get things done. Somewhere about the Pharaohs and some were about the lower class. 

4.   The Egyptian people where the first people to make a big deal about their hair. Everyone had to be in style with the Pharaoh. Their hair, there facial hair, there make up had to be perfect so they all look in style. 

5.   The world would be very hard to live in without a calendar. Without the calendar for the Egyptians wouldn't know when the Nile River was going to flood over. They would know when it was going to drain so they could get the rick soil that they need for their crops.

In class today we went over the test. I didn't do as well as I wanted to. We went around the room and went over the questions. We had little discussions about each one. Mr. Schick was disappointed with some of the results, but i know that I'm going to try so much harder next time because today wasn't good at all.

Ancient Egypt

• Geography/ Egyptian life is centered around the Nile River (the river flows south to north), goes into Mauritanian, the water in for drinking irrigating for bathing and for transportation, every July the river floods every October it leaves rich soil (perfect) the delta is a board, triangular are a of fertile silt, managing the river required technological breakthroughs in irrigation 

• Pyramids/ the Great Sphinx of Giza, built 255-2532 BC, a recumbent lion with a human head, oldest monument statue in the world

• Daily life/ Pharaoh, Government officials, Soldiers, Scribes, Merchants, Artisans, Farmers, Slave & Servants  

• Slaves & Servants/ helped the wealthy with house hold and child raising duties

• Farmers/ raised wheat, barley, lentils, onion - benefited from irrigation of the Nile

1. Large civilization population

2. Advanced technology

3. Well organized work force

Papnewguinea still living like cave men. Sego major food product in that area. Barely helped start archaeologist is discovering. Certain places started to have more of certain things. Granary place for the grain. China place for rice. Americas place for corn. Africa place millet. yams, and sorghum. Most productive crops make fro the most productive civilization. It came down to geographic luck. Middle East had wheat and barely.

There are 14 species of domesticated animals. They are goats, sheep, pigs, cows, horses, donkeys, Bactria camels, Arabians camels, water buffalo, llamas, reindeer, yaks, mithans, and Bali cattle. Cows, pigs, sheep, and goats were native to the middle east. People of the fertile crescents were geographically blessed.
