Today in West Civ we took more notes on Egypt. We kind of
summarized our notes we took last class on Egypt but delved further into the
material. We discussed the five elements of life in Egypt back then in ancient
times. The five elements were geography, daily life, Pharaohs, Goddesses and
Gods, and Pyramids. The geography of Egypt talks about the Nile River and how
it was a major source of life for the Egyptians. It was used for drinking,
irrigating, bathing, and transportation. It also flooded every single July and
brought rich soil every October. Though, during every flood they had plans to
push the water aside that way the flood didn’t destroy anything. We also
discussed the element: Pyramids. We took notes on “The Great Sphinx of Piza”
which is the oldest monumental statue in the world with a whopping 4,500 years
old. It is a lion with a humans head. We also went over hierarchies and discussed
the Hierarchy Pyramid and the people’s positions.
