- The
Topic:
- Ancient
Egypt
|

- Easier - The Nile
River Valley gave rich, fertile soil for farming.
Yearly floods provided fresh nutrients. People settled
there over 5,000 years ago. The Egyptians believed in
many gods and in a perfect eternal life after death.
They were ruled by pharaohs with absolute power. After
death, they preserved their ruler's bodies by
embalming and buried them in pyramid tombs. These
royal tombs were decorated by paintings and filled
with food, jewelry, clothing, weapons, tools, and
statues. Egyptians also invented hieroglyphic writing
and made advances in medicine, mathematics, and
irrigation and farming methods. Their way of life
thrived until 30 BC, when the Romans conquered the
empire.
-
- Harder - Egypt was
the longest-lived civilization in the ancient world.
Their ancient culture along the Nile River in
northeastern Africa began about 3,300 BC and thrived
for over 3,000 years. Seasonal rains in the southern
highlands inundated the Nile every year causing the
river to overflow its banks. When the floodwaters
receded, a layer of rich black topsoil covered the
flood plain. This condition enabled the Egyptians to
develop a successful farming economy.
-
- Other natural factors contributed to ancient
Egypt's rise to a great empire in the Nile region. The
region's climate provided a relatively cloudless sky
where the sun consistently provided heat and light
almost every day. The Nile River served as a
transportation highway and provided life-giving fresh
water that sustained both plant and animals.
Surrounding natural barriers provided protection for
the people; a vast desert to the west, seas to the
north and east, and the upper rapids or cataracts of
the Nile prevented hostile attacks from the
south.
-
- In this location a sophisticated and creative
society developed, the only one in the area to endure
for thousands of years. The Egyptians developed
principles of architecture, mathematics, and
construction, enabling them to construct large stone
buildings as early as 2,500 BC. Their enduring artwork
in sculpture, painting, and drawing still captivates
today's viewers. Egyptians studied medicine and
dentistry. They processed thin, flat paper like sheets
from papyrus on which they wrote their texts. They
developed a written script of hieroglyphs, a form of
picture writing. Egyptians also originated many basic
arithmetic and geometry concepts. Their calendar was
based on the observation of the Sun and stars. They
produced a vast body of written records that included
ethical and moralistic treatises, instructional texts,
religious and mythical scrolls, poetry, epic tales,
and ribald stories. Egypt became a major power in the
ancient world, dominating the region until their
conquest by Romans.
