Blog 7: Egypt

Today in class we went over a power-point about life in Egypt around the Nile River .The Nile River flows South to North and floods every July , and Every October it leaves behind rich soil.The Nile River was an important water source ; it provided drinking , irrigating , bathing and transportation  Then we talked about The Great Sphinx of Giza.The Sphinx was built 2555 - 2532 B.C. and was built with a lion as the body and a humans head , and it the oldest monument in the world.   To build the pyramids there were "volunteers" that got paid and there were , NO SLAVES that participated in building the pyramids. And we didn't get a chance to get to Daily Life , because the bell rang. : ))
