I want my mummy

Today in class we reviewed some of the things we have learned and what we need to know for the TEST TOMORROW. We went over things like the Nile and the "Two Lands" and how upper Egypt was a 500 mile long strip of fertile land along the Nile, Lower Egypt was wide land of the Nile delta emptying into the Mediterranean Sea. Around 3100 BC the two lands united. We also reviewed their government and how they worshiped a Godlike king (Pharaohs). Most pharaohs had multiple wives, some married their sisters. Egyptians relied on the harmony and balance of the universe which they called "maat". There was also a very important fact on women and their rights. Women could inherit money and land and divorce their husbands through only a tiny few ever wielded real political power.

Fun Facts-

• The Temple of Amon at Karnak is the largest religious building in the world.
• While mummifying a body all internal organs are removed except the heart.
• Egyptians preformed mummification's to preserve the body for after-life.
