Egypt Prezi

Today we had a substitute teacher while Mr. Schick (you) were in the play. We look at the Egypt Prezi and took notes on it. I learned more about Ancient Egypt, the geography and the Egyptians "daily life." The Nile River was very important to the Egyptians. Their life was centered around the Nile. The river flows south to north and provided fertile soil. The Egyptians believed the river had certain behaviors every year and they looked at the Nile like a "living breathing entity." The slaves/servants helped the wealthy with house hold and child raising. The farmers raised wheat, barley, lentils, onions, and befitted from irrigation of the Nile. Artisans would carve statues and reliefs showing military battles and scenes in the afterlife. Scribes kept records, told stories. They wrote hieroglyphs and in hieractic. Soldiers used wooden weapons (bow & arrows, spears.) The Upper class, known as the "white kilt class" were the priests, physicians, engineers.Also, Pharaohs were the political and religious leader of the Egyptian people.
