Class on 2/7

This week, we only had class twice because of all the snow days and early dismissals. On Friday, we talked about Egypt and went over the readings we did will similar notes. We learned all about what life was like in Egypt and about the Pharaoh and the Nile. We learned that Egypt was basically two parts, Upper and Lower Egypt. Upper Egypt was a thin strip of land of fertile land. Lower Egypt was the Nile Delta. The Nile was the main source of life and without it, Egypt would not have thrived like it did. We learned about the hieroglyphs and the pictures that they represented. The Pharaoh was almost always a man, and if Egypt was in perfect harmony and balance, they called it "maat".  We learned about mummification and what they did to the bodies and how they believed that they would need their bodies and organs in the future.
