We had a little fun in the very beginning of class. We learned some new facts on Egypt :
Geography
  • Life is centered around the Nile River
  • Delta -the delta is a broad marshy triangular area of fertile silt
  • Transportation
  • Water for drinking for bathing and irrigating
  • Every July it floods
  • Every October it leaves behind rich soil
  • Flows south to north
  • Managing the river requited technological breakthroughs in irrigation
Great Sphinx of Giza
  • A recumbent lion with a human's head
  • Built 2555-2531 BC
  • 4,500 years ago it was built
  • Oldest monumental statue in the world
