Today we did not meet in class, instead we all viewed a prezi. It was about Egypt which i found rather interesting. Egypt is in a very fortunate spot, right along the nile river. The river is very important to the egyptians, the way the tigris and the euphrates river were to the mesopotamians. Another oart of the prezu was on the Pyramids, such as the great sphinx of giza built 2555-2532 bc. Egypt had a "social pyramid"

The pharoahs were the political leader of the egyptian peole. There were two women pharoahs, Hatsheput, and Cleopatra VII. King Tut is famous because he was stolen from his tomb by English people in the 20th century, instead of people during that time. The goddesses and Gods controlled the lives of humans during that time.
