Thursday 31, 2013


Today in class we went through a power point that reviewed what we took notes on for homework the night before. We were able to go over Geography, Pyramids, and Daily Life on the power point. We took many notes for each.

Geography
- Egyptian life is centered around the Nile.
- The Nile flows from South to North
-The Nile's water is used for drinking, irrigation, bathing, and transportation.
Pyramids
- The Great Sphinx of Giza was build from 2555-2532 B.C
- Is a recumbent lion with a human's head.
- The oldest monumental statue in the world.
Daily Life
- The top of the list is the most powerful and the bottom is the least powerful.
  • Pharaoh
  • Gov. Officials - Nobles, Priests
  • Soldiers
  • Scribes
  • Merchants
  • Artisans
  • Farmers
  • Slaves and servants

- Slaves/servants helped the wealthy
- Farmers raised wheat, barley, lentils, and onions. This benefited from irrigation from the Nile.

 We also took a pop quiz. My grade came out as a 60.
